Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing government operations by automating internal processes and enhancing citizen-facing services, leading to improved efficiency, accuracy, and cost-effectiveness. It enables faster and more consistent decision-making by processing large volumes of documentation, such as grant applications and regulatory filings, which were previously handled manually. AI also addresses challenges like document processing bottlenecks, information access barriers, and operational inefficiencies by streamlining workflows and providing proactive guidance through standardized workflows. An example is the German Federal Ministry of Research, Technology, and Space, which used AI to automate its grant evaluation process, significantly reducing processing times and increasing transparency. Beyond grant management, AI is applied across various public sector domains, including financial regulation, healthcare administration, education, and emergency response, by utilizing tools such as AI-powered chatbots and virtual assistants. Successful AI integration in the public sector requires careful planning, user-centered design, security measures, and ongoing evaluation to ensure it supports human capabilities while safeguarding citizens' rights and privacy.
