Summary/Abstract: The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in public administration and the cross-border nature of the technology justify regulation in the European dimension. In addition ot he definition at European level, it is important to develop standards for applications. These standards are key in terms of transparency, publicity, public interest representation, consistency and non-contradiction, helping to manage the risks posed by AI and to create legal certainty. The use of AI in public administrations raises a number of challenges, including reliability, transparency and changes in the labour market. The OECD emphasises the role of governments in research and development of sound AI, and in the development of standards and ethical guidelines. OECD documents analysing the areas of application of AI show that AI can be applied in many areas of public administration, such as welfare services and increasing operational efficiency. The application of artificial intelligence in public administration is a complex and sensitive area that exceeds the scope of this study. The interpretation of research results and answers related to the risks posed by technology, as well as the question of responsibility, are important topics. At the same time, it is a fact that the application of AI can create new opportunities, for which the study provides several examples.
