Description
In this talk, I present the key institutional background and projects of
Hungary's AI strategy. The goal of the Strategy is to harness the
possibilities inherent in technological change and maximize the
opportunities offered by artificial intelligence (AI). The strategy was
prepared with the involvement of over 250 member organizations of
Hungary’s AI Coalition and over a thousand experts identified focus
areas and highlighted projects.
As part of the Strategy, the National Data Asset Agency was established,
which manages and controls access to governmental data. Two
Transformative Projects have already started the implementation. The
Governmental Chatbot project aims to automate 60% of government office
services. And in the Data Valet project, a service will be developed for
the citizens to control access rights of their personal data to be used
in public and private AI applications. More transformative projects will
be initiated, for instance, to control irrigation in agriculture. AI is
expected to add 11-14 percent to Hungary’s GNP by 2030.
