The government included the project Use of artificial intelligence in environmental assessments in the current Plan of Development Programs 2026-2029
The purpose of the project is the development and implementation of an intelligent system that will support the preparation of environmental decisions at the Ministry of the Environment, Climate and Energy. The system will help with the review of applications and extensive documentation and enable faster, more transparent and more uniform procedures. This means shorter procedures for investors and other investors and clearer and more predictable decision-making. At the same time, a higher quality of decisions, greater coordination between cases and greater public confidence in the procedures are also expected.
The project lays the foundation for the wider use of artificial intelligence in public administration, while simultaneously ensuring security, compliance and control over the operation of the system. The value of the project amounts to 809,400 euros and also includes the establishment and multi-year operation of the production and test environment.
