Research Handbook on Public Management and Artificial Intelligence

This pioneering Research Handbook on Public Management and Artificial Intelligence provides a comprehensive overview of the potentials, challenges, and governance principles of AI in a public management context. Multidisciplinary in approach, it draws on a variety of jurisdictional perspectives and expertly analyses key topics relating to this socio-technical phenomenon.

Showcasing contributions by a collection of eminent scholars from across the globe, this Research Handbook presents cutting-edge research on AI in public management. Organised into three parts corresponding with distinct foci of research, it explores the adoption and implementation of AI in public management settings, presents specific case studies and examples of AI in the public sector, and outlines future trends and directions in the evolution of AI adoption and use in public management.

Based on empirical research from a global perspective, this Research Handbook will prove invaluable to practitioners, policymakers, and public managers both as users and co-creators of AI-enabled services. Researchers and academics in the fields of organisational innovation, public management, technology, public administration, and public policy will also find this to be an essential read.
