- Dangers:
Complex, high-stakes circumstances require human instinct and adaptability. AI is way better suited for non-critical assignments to back administrators.

- Streamlining bureaucratic forms.
- Upgrading Open Administrations:
- Chatbots for fast data recovery.
- Lawful devices for analyzing case law.
