The state is under pressure and must save. The ministries are expected to spend 1.15 billion euros less this year. According to Consileon -Baas Harald Kohlberger, more would be possible. For this, politics should use the possibilities of artificial intelligence, then the public sector needs fewer officials and also becomes more efficient.
Harald Kohlberger, head of the IT company Consileon, believes that with the right use of technology at least each other would be a billion of savings in the administration.
It is even a need to rely more on technology: “The sector stands for a wave of pension and officials are missing in many areas,” says Kohlberger. The most important thing is to replace jobs that cannot be filled. “And new jobs will be made elsewhere.”
Austria – which also certifies economic researchers – is in a structural crisis anyway. “The possibilities and funds are already technologically seen today, only the ruling politics does not recognize the importance, so nothing happens,” the entrepreneur said.
Administrative device can become more efficient
Of course, many officials such as those of teachers, police officers or the health system cannot easily be replaced by computer systems, but there is a lot of potential in the administrative device of government agencies and ministries.
For example, the AMS can find out the perfect result when you are looking for suitable places for unemployed people with AI. In the health insurance company, there is also much easier and saved with AI-based accounting. In general, many internal processes nowadays can be implemented much faster, data can be processed. Ki also helps to better manage the boundaries and to monitor the boundaries with security and border protection.
MasterPlan is missing
The possibilities are enough, but politics must also use the possibilities. “The master plan is missing,” says Kohlberger. In addition to public administration, trading companies and financial companies also include its customers. The potential has already been seen more in the private economy. About half want to invest in AI in the next five years, a third expects higher productivity.
