Summary/Abstract: In this article, the authors deal with the issue of the use of artificial intelligence systems in administrative proceedings, with a special focus on the area of administrative punishment. The article analyses the legal requirements imposed on automated administrative decisions, highlighting key principles such as transparency, predictability, sound reasoning, and reviewability of decisions, while examining the challenges associated with the implementation of AI in public administration decision-making processes, including ensuring the right to a fair trial. In the conclusion of the article, the authors propose specific possibilities and conditions for the application of semi-automated decision-making in administrative punishment in the Slovak Republic, taking into account the examined requirements arising from the right to a fair trial.
