Abstract

The implementation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in public settings is not a new topic. However, only recently it gained momentum, and practitioners started investigating the potentialities of this technology also within the public boundaries. Public sector plays a pivotal role in AI development both considering legislation advancement and application development, though scholars rarely focus on it, leaving an urgent gap to fill. Moreover the current body of literature is muddleheaded and scholars fatigue in disentangling and clarifying the various domains and fields of analysis. Based on these considerations, this paper aims at offering two main contributions: i) it provides a taxonomy for mapping the features of AI projects and then ii) analyzes the current trends in the development of such projects using the abovementioned taxonomy. This analysis allows us to provide a worldwide overview of the current widespread of AI applications, in order to explore the trends and identify promising paths for future research.

人工智能在公共部门的传播:全球概览

人工智能(AI)在公共环境中的实施并不是一个新话题。然而，直到最近，它才获得了动力，从业者开始调查这项技术在公共领域的潜力。公共部门在人工智能发展中扮演着关键的角色，无论是从立法的推进还是应用的发展来看，但学者们很少关注这一点，留下了一个迫切需要填补的空白。此外，目前的文献体系是混乱的，学者们在理清和澄清各种分析领域和领域时感到疲劳。基于这些考虑，本文旨在提供两个主要贡献:i)它提供了一个用于映射AI项目特征的分类法，然后ii)使用上述分类法分析这些项目的当前发展趋势。这一分析使我们能够提供当前广泛的人工智能应用的全球概况，以便探索趋势并为未来的研究确定有希望的路径。
