The Application Risks and Administrative Regulation of Generative Artificial Intelligence in the Development of Digital Government

Abstract

With the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) technology and the continuous progress in the devel - opment of digital government, AI has been increasingly applied in public administration, significantly enhanc - ing administrative efficiency and quality. However, the widespread adoption of this technology has also given rise to a range of application risks. To address these issues, AI can be regarded as an administrative assistant in the digital era, and the privatization of public tasks may serve as a mechanism to balance conflicting public law values. This paper outlines the operational principles of generative artificial intelligence (GAI), discusses its legal status in the context of digital government, and analyzes the potential legal challenges arising from its application. Further, it examines how the inherent features of GAI pose specific governance challenges and explores how to construct an effective administrative legal governance framework to ensure the sound devel - opment of GAI under administrative regulation.
