The President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, today stressed the importance of artificial intelligence in modernizing the European Union's administration.
She stated that the use of this technology can improve the way institutions function and facilitate the provision of services to citizens and businesses.
During a press conference in Brussels, attended by Catherine Day, chair of the Commission's High Level Group on the Future of the Civil Service, and European Commissioner Piotr Serafin, Von der Leyen underlined that technological developments create new opportunities for simplifying administrative procedures and increasing efficiency.
According to her, artificial intelligence can bring new forms of work organization, help improve processes, and reduce bureaucratic difficulties faced by businesses and citizens in the European Union.
Von der Leyen also stressed that the European Commission must equip employees with the right knowledge and tools to make the most of this technology.
She noted the importance of developing professional skills, simplifying services, and making wider and more efficient use of new technologies.
Another important issue, according to the President of the European Commission, is the acceleration of work processes and the improvement of the internal organization of the institution.
She underlined that simplifying procedures, defining responsibilities more clearly and strengthening cooperation between departments would enable employees to focus on tasks where they can make the greatest contribution.
Von der Leyen emphasized that another priority is the most careful and efficient use of public funds, so that every euro spent brings concrete results and benefits to citizens.
She noted that this is particularly important at a time when many Europeans continue to face rising costs of living.
In conclusion, the President of the European Commission reaffirmed the institution's commitment to providing quality public services and improving the functioning of the administration at the service of European citizens.
