The adoption of artificial intelligence algorithms in various sectors of our society is now an established reality. This trend is unstoppable and will have profound and lasting effects on public and private organisations, households, and individuals. Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to radically transform the functioning of the public sector, offering new opportunities to increase efficiency and effectiveness in the services provided to citizens. Not only is AI a technological response to the need to modernise the public sector; it is also an opportunity to revolutionise management and governance logics, making them more result-oriented and continuous improvement-oriented. This book examines the transformation path of public administration, with particular attention to local realities, exploring the transition from the traditional administrative model to a managerial type of management focused on added value and quality of services.
