O Estado e a Administração entre o obsoletismo e o imperativo de reconfiguração: dilemas da segurança jurídica no contexto da inovação

Abstract

The 4th Technological Revolution, there was the rise of quantum computing, algorithms, data processing, artificial intelligence, the Internet of things and social networks, which has provoked, to a lesser or greater degree, profound transformations in relation to the foundational principles of contemporary societies, thus reflecting on social structures, in the set of institutions and even in the conception of state, a context in which the schemes of traditional thought are no longer sufficient to respond to the demands. In this scenario, the risks of the government assimilating such technologies should be assessed, in particular, artificial intelligence, inadequately, without the necessary precautions and on the pretext of not becoming obsolete, thus causing damage to the Public Administration itself and to society, being necessary, therefore, not only a strategic project of appropriation of technologies, but also a cultural change with regard to administrative action and special care with regard to communication and the formation of public opinion for the maintenance of legal certainty. Public opinion, which has risen as a political force as a result of the explosion of information and communication technologies – especially the Internet – has unleashed on "democracy of opinion" as the third age of representative government, as Jacques Chevallier explains, constituting this core of thought, the theoretical framework of this research, from which we seek a conclusion by the need for the State to assume a leading position in this new scenario of the communicative process. Considering these reflections, the present work aims to consolidate knowledge bases so that these emerging technological resources, in particular, artificial intelligence, are appropriated and applied in the public sphere in a procedural way in order to ultimately guarantee legal certainty and, therefore, it is proposed as a methodological path of this work an interdisciplinary effort, this through research of a predominant character: descriptive, bibliographic review and whose approach is qualitative, subject to the limitations of research resulting from the stage in which the theme is found.
