Abstract(s)
Currently, artificial intelligence (AI) is at the center of academic and public debate. However,
its implications on politics remain little understood. To understand the impact of the AI phenomenon
on politics of the European Union (EU), we have carried out qualitative multimethod research by
performing a systematic literature review and a case study. The first method was performed according
to the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA), in order to
report the state-of-the-art in the existing literature and explore the most relevant research areas.
The second method contained contributions from experts in data science and AI of the Portuguese
scientific community. The results showed that solutions such as intelligent decision support systems
are improving the political decision-making process and impacting the Portuguese society at local,
regional, and national levels. We also found that practitioners and scientists are currently shifting
their interests from environmental and biological sciences to healthcare services, which is bringing
new challenges in terms of protecting patient/citizen data and growing concerns about handling of
critical information. Future research may focus on comparative studies with other EU States to obtain
a comprehensive and holistic understanding of the AI phenomenon.
