Abstract: Artificial intelligence systems are being used in various areas such as e-commerce, e-government and e-advertising, mainly because of their efficiency and ability to provide fast access to services. However, AI uses a massive amount of data, raising concerns about the privacy and control of this data held by large corporations or government entities. Although there are some risks associated with AI, such as discrimination in AI algorithms and over-reliance on technology, there are also many benefits to be gained from using these systems: automating administrative processes, providing assistance and support to citizens, data analysis and personalised decision-making etc. To maximise benefits and minimise risks, responsible control and management of AI data and systems is required. The integration of artificial intelligence in e-government and in the detection of breaches of the integrity of public functions may prove useful, but it must be accompanied by measures to ensure respect for human rights, data protection, discrimination and the avoidance of violations.
Keywords: artificial intelligence, public integrity, e-government, data control, AI risks, AI benefits, justice, integrity breaches, accountability, transparency, ethics.
