Representatives of slovak.AI, the Slovak Center for Research and Development of Artificial Intelligence, which is one of the key centers for supporting the development and implementation of new technologies and especially AI, and which brings together more than 50 organizations operating in the academic, private and non-profit sectors, evaluate the topics of digital agenda set out in the Government Program Statement (PVV).

In the field of informatization - digitization of public administration, they consider the plans of the Government of the Slovak Republic to be very ambitious and in principle agree with the proposals. However, their implementation will require enormous efforts as well as strict elimination of departmentalism, which, according to them, will not be easy.

At the same time, however, they think that digital transformation is mentioned in the PVV as a process that is the only one that can bring the Slovak economy growth prospects - a similar declaration is made in the section on the National Strategic Plan - but also see significant room to emphasize the importance of the digital agenda and its links to science, research, and the human potential of Slovakia.


"We perceive the digitalization of public administration very positively, as it can bring greater transparency and efficiency to the functioning of the state. However, it is still a catch-up and Slovakia, if it wants to move forward, must excel in the excellence of its services and talent - especially by developing its own innovations through science and applied research. For foreign investors, tax breaks and competitive wages are no longer enough to move their development activities to us. They are attracted by their top talent and a favorable innovation ecosystem supported from the highest level of the state ", says Gabriel Galgóci, a member of the board of Slovak.AI.
