Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the management and development of cities and regions by offering innovative solutions such as automated traffic control and digital citizen participation platforms. These technologies enable local authorities to work more efficiently and offer citizen-friendly services. Despite the advantages, the use of AI also presents challenges that need to be addressed. These include ethical concerns and legal frameworks, which are crucial for the responsible use of AI. It is important to clarify questions such as how the responsible implementation of AI can be ensured and which legal requirements must be observed. In addition, the concerns of employees and citizens must be taken seriously and addressed in order to build trust in the technology.
