On October 6–7, 2025, at the International Congress Centre in Katowice, during the XXIII Local Government Capital and Finance Forum, Dr hab. Roman Roszko, prof. IS PAN, head of the Semantics and Computer Linguistics Team at ISS PAS, promoted effective ways to apply artificial intelligence in the daily work of local governments in Poland.
The Forum organizers invited Prof. R. Roszko as a speaker to participate in the debate: “Artificial Intelligence in Local Governments – Real Applications or Just a Trend?”. The debate was extended by a lunch break due to high interest. Local government officials were interested in specific application scenarios for generative models created within the HIVE AI project, as well as the tools and resources of CLARIN-PL-BIZ-Bis. Their primary concerns revolved around the security and quality of solutions utilizing artificial intelligence. The anxieties of local government representatives, who mostly associated artificial intelligence with readily available online chatbots, were alleviated during a presentation of RAG instances operating on PLLuM models. It should be noted that these types of solutions are currently being implemented by the HIVE AI consortium, among others, in the Gdynia City Hall.
Prof. Roman Roszko also spoke with representatives from companies involved in providing digital services to government offices at various administrative levels. A promising collaboration emerged between IS PAN and Warsaw-based company ABC PRO sp. z o.o. (https://abcpro.pl/) regarding legal electronic monitoring – solutions that the aforementioned company offers and plans to develop further with additional functionalities related to artificial intelligence.
