AI and Public Administration at Environmental Protection: Modern Innovations for Sustainable Community Development

The article examines the essence of the categories of ‘artificial intelligence’, ‘public administration’ and ‘balanced community development’ in the context of environmental protection. The potential of using innovative artificial intelligence technologies to optimise environmental management processes at the local and national levels is considered. The author analyses modern digital tools that help to increase the efficiency of management decision-making, monitor environmental indicators and ensure transparency of interaction between environmental authorities and public environmental NGOs. Particular attention is paid to examples of the implementation of AI solutions in the field of environmental protection in public administration, as well as to the challenges arising in the processes of digital transformation of the environmental sector. The author concludes that an integrated approach to the implementation of artificial intelligence as a tool to support the balanced development of communities, taking into account environmental, social and economic factors, is necessary.
