Summary/Abstract: This paper focuses on identifying legal objections and risks associated with the introduction and use of AI systems in the exercise of public administration (PA) directed at individuals. It is specifically in the exercise of authoritative power over individuals that procedural rights become relevant. Therefore, the use of AI in PA activities that do not involve the exercise of superior authority or are not targeted at individuals (such as internal organizational functions or non-authoritative planning activities) falls outside the scope of this analysis. The author examines how the principle of legality in public authority may evolve in light of AI decision-making within PA. In this context, the paper explores whether the use of AI in decision-making by independent administrative authorities and collegial administrative bodies is legally permissible. Additionally, it considers the implications of AI use in relation to the principle of “equal treatment in similar cases”, the right to a reasoned decision, and the right to have a decision reviewed.
