Comment

The Government aims to follow a human-centric approach to change the private, professional and public life of citizens. AI could simplify many citizen-to-government interactions which will result in time-saving, increased transparency and more customer-oriented services.

AI strategy for the public sector follows the existing development of administrative simplification and the investment already done in e-government.

The aim is to invest in projects, starting from the development of a comprehensive overview of potential projects based on criteria, such as feasibility, necessity and human-centricity.

Moreover, the strategy has an international focus, on engaging with EU member states in peer-learning activities.

On data, the strategy proposes to investigate the possibility to create a structured public database ecosystem aimed at eliminating technical barriers for AI use cases.
