Public authorities increasingly deploy AI in various facets of governance, surveillance, and decision-making thereby increasing their power. For this reason it is imperative to scrutinise to what extent the existing legal order in the EU counterbalances this power by affording legal protection to individuals and communities vis-à-vis the state in administrative procedures.

Within this context the panel will discuss various critical perspectives on the use of AI in public administrations, including human rights and principles of good administration.
