Рассматриваются возможности применения развивающихся систем искусственного интеллекта в общественном секторе России и других стран. Отмечается, что несмотря на перспективы получения значительных выигрышей, существует ряд технических, экономических и социально-этических ограничений, связанных с внедрением искусственного интеллекта, учитывая его особенности как технологии широкого применения. Подчеркивается возрастающая ценность профессионального суждения, позволяющего использовать результаты работы искусственного интеллекта. На основе наработанных в мировой практике принципов работы с искусственным интеллектом, а также особенностей отечественного институционального устройства и доверия к нему со стороны граждан сделан вывод о необходимости осторожного подхода к использованию технологий искусственного интеллекта в приложениях российского общественного сектора. Такие практики могут не только нанести немалый вред конкретным лицам в процессе текущего функционирования отечественных институтов, но и препятствовать их преобразованиям.

The article critically examines the possibilities of using steadily developing artificial intelligence systems in the public sector of foreign countries and Russia. It is noted that despite the prospects of obtaining significant gains, there are a number of technical, economic and socio-ethical limitations associated with the introduction of artificial intelligence, taking into account its features as a general purpose technology. The increasing value of professional judgment, which allows using the results of artificial intelligence, is emphasized. Based on the principles of working with artificial intelligence developed in world practice, as well as the peculiarities of the domestic institutional structure and trust in it by the citizens, a conclusion is made about the need for a cautious approach to the use of artificial intelligence technologies in applications of the Russian public sector. Such practices can not only cause considerable harm to specific individuals in the process of current functioning of domestic institutions, but also hinder their transformation.
