Artificial intelligence in local governments: opportunities and challenges in an international comparison

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly important for local governments. From more efficient administrative processes to data-driven decisions in urban development, resource use, or citizen participation, AI opens up new possibilities for action. At the same time, questions arise about ethical standards, transparency, and social inclusion.

The expert event brings together municipalities from Germany and the Global South to share international experiences, opportunities, and challenges in dealing with AI in municipal practice. The aim is to:

• highlight specific best practices from different contexts,
• promote interregional knowledge exchange, and
• provide impulses for the development of individual approaches.

The event brings together experts from cities, counties, and municipalities and actively supports international expert exchange on the opportunities and challenges of using artificial intelligence in public administration.

The event will last approximately 2½ hours. The exact time and a registration link with a detailed agenda will be available shortly.

If you have any questions about the event, please feel free to contact us:
