Artificial Intelligence as a Tool for Enhancing Transparency in Public Administration

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) has become an increasingly accepted tool for enhancing transparency in government. AI assists governments in reducing corruption, enhancing service delivery, and improving accountability by enabling automated data analysis, real-time monitoring, and greater citizen engagement. The use of machine learning and natural language processing can provide tools to identify anomalies in government expenditure, ease access to government information, and facilitate the use of evidence in decision-making. The introduction of AI into public administration is fraught with difficulties, despite its potential, including the risk of data loss, algorithmic bias, and the need for a robust regulatory framework. These issues will have to be tackled in order to guarantee that AI not only improves transparency but also promotes ethical governance. This paper examines AI-based solutions that may promote open, responsible, and transparent institutions of the people.
