How is the dream of artificial intelligence and the potentiality of data shaped among managers in the public administration? What roles are assigned to the frontline employee in data-driven welfare? Based on observations of municipal managers and consultants, the article examines a project group’s attempt to introduce artificial intelligence in municipal employment efforts. The distrust in the frontline employee mimics research traditions in studies of management and professions. In alignment with these research traditions, the data dream problematizes how human experience distorts political goals, impairs organizational value creation, is driven by individual coping strategies or professional interest and therefore does not provide appropriate welfare service.

Hvordan formes drømmen om potentialet i data og kunstig intelligens blandt ledere i den offentlige forvaltning, og hvilke roller tildeles frontlinjemedarbejderen i den datadrevne velfærd? Baseret på observationer af kommunale ledere og konsulentoplæg undersøger artiklen de datadrømme, som omgærder udviklingsarbejdet med at introducere kunstig intelligens i kommunale beskæftigelsesindsatser. Deres datadrømme indebærer en kritik af frontlinjemedarbejderen, som mimer den etablerede ledelses- og professionsforskning, hvor frontlinjemedarbejderens praksis problematiseres: I datadrømmene kritiseres frontlinjemedarbejderens dømmekraft for i udstrakt grad alene at være baseret på menneskelig erfaring, individuelle mestringsstrategier eller professionsbårne interesser og derfor ikke varetage borgerens behov, hvilket gør, at den organisatoriske værdiskabelse forringes.

Sagsbehandlerne i forvaltningen skal træffe afgørelser på et oplyst og objektivt grundlag og være i stand til at begrunde afgørelserne. De assisteres dog i stigende grad af beslutningsunderstøttende algoritmer, der er skabt til at generere output fremfor at tilvejebringe en forklaring. Denne udvikling kan effektivisere og forbedre arbejdsgange, men kan også udfordre forvaltningsretlige krav til skøn og begrundelse, der hviler på grundlæggende retssikkerhedsmæssige principper om blandt andet en tilstrækkelig sagsoplysning og forudberegnelighed. Ved at bruge ASTA-rapportens data om sagsbehandleres oplevelser af og praksis med brugen af algoritmer i risikovurderingen af nyledige illustreres, hvordan automation bias og black box-paradokset kan påvirke sagsbehandlerens skøn og begrundelse. Så på trods af en måske mere effektiv håndtering af større datamængder via algoritmer kan det udfordre nogle af retsstatens grundlæggende principper.

Digitaliseringen af den offentlige sektor er kommet for at blive, og den indebærer væsentlige etiske dilemmaer, som topledelsen aktivt må gå ind i. Denne videnskabelige kronik tilbyder et overblik over etiske temaer i digitaliseringen og en række konkrete eksempler. Topledelsen har ansvaret, magten og mulighederne, og det er derfor tydeligt, at der ikke er en neutral position for topledelsen i forhold til anvendelse af digitale teknologier. Kronikken argumenterer for, at det ikke er tilstrækkeligt, at topledelsen respekterer politiske prioriteringer og afsøger offentlige værdier blandt interessenterne. Topledelsen må med afsæt i den kommunikative etik også søge indsigt i digitaliseringen og formulere sit eget etiske ståsted i de digitale dilemmaer.

Studier viser, at kommunale topembedsmænd prioriterer den politiske betjening højt. Dette fund er i den eksisterende litteratur blevet brugt til at sige noget om den rolle, som de kommunale topembedsmænd på tværs af lande indtager over for politikerne. Hidtil er dette hovedsagelig blevet undersøgt gennem spørgeskemaer, der fokuserer på kontaktmønstre og omfanget af den politiske betjening. I denne artikel argumenterer jeg i stedet for at studere rolleopfattelsen gennem interviews, hvilket giver adgang til erfaringsnære beskrivelser af topembedsmændenes rolleopfattelse. Gennem 12 interviews viser jeg, at de kommunale topembedsmænd opfatter deres rolle som oversættere, bindeled og mediatorer, hvilket indebærer en vekslende bevægelse mellem det politiske og administrative niveau. Embedsmændene finder det vigtigt at betjene det politiske niveau samtidig med, at de opfatter deres rolle som partipolitisk neutral. Det skaber et krydspres, som topembedsmændene forsøger at balancere ved at benytte tre strategier, der skal skærme dem mod uhensigtsmæssig politisk indblanding: De rådfører, oplærer og adgangsbegrænser.

Både i Danmark og internationalt hersker der usikkerhed om den rette vej frem i forhold til konsekvenserne af digital teknologi i den offentlige sektor. Fordele og ulemper ved automatiseret sagsbehandling kan anskues som et koncentrat af myndigheders teknologianvendelse generelt. Kronikken argumenterer for nødvendigheden af stærkere styring af anvendelsen af automatiseret sagsbehandling for blandt andet at forebygge en øget asymmetri mellem statsapparatet og borger. Med sigte på at anspore til videre debat foreslås en stærkere styring gennemført via i) styrkelse af relevant faglig ekspertise blandt særlig myndigheders top- og mellemledere; ii) udpegning af sagkyndigt udvalg med fokus på behov for supplerende lovgivning og vejledninger; og iii) opprioritering og opkvalificering af tilsynsmyndigheder med særlig fokus på systemmæssige og organisatoriske aspekter af automatiseret sagsbehandling.

Caseworkers in the public administration must make decisions based on accurate and objective information and be able to explain their reasoning. They are increasingly relying on decision-supporting algorithms that prioritize output over reasoning. While these algorithms can streamline and improve workflows, they also challenge fundamental principles of legal certainty. Utilizing data from the ASTA report on caseworkers’ experiences with algorithms in risk assessments of newly unemployed individuals as a case, we examine how automation bias and the black box paradox can affect caseworkers’ reasoning and justification of decisions. While the decision-making process may become more efficient in handling large datasets, fundamental principles of the rule of law may be challenged.

Both in Denmark and abroad, discussions of the consequences of public authorities’ use of technology abound. Advantages and disadvantages of use of automated, administrative decision-making can be perceived as an embodiment of authorities’ use of technology in general. The article calls for increased management of use of automated, administrative decision-making to, among other consequences, prevent an increased imbalance between state apparatus and individual citizens. Hoping to stimulate further debate, three policy suggestions are put forward: i) strengthen relevant professional expertise particularly among high and mid-level public servants; ii) appoint an expert committee focusing on the need for supplementary legislation and guidance; and iii) increased focus and knowledge among regulatory authorities with a particular focus on technical and organizational aspects of automated, administrative decision-making.

Studies show that top civil servants in Danish local government emphasize giving political advice. This finding has been used to deduce information about the role that top municipal officials across countries play vis-à-vis politicians. The existing literature has examined this through questionnaires, but in this article, I propose studying role perceptions through interviews, which provide access to thick descriptions of the role of top officials. Through 12 interviews, I show that top municipal officials perceive their role as translators, liaisons and mediators, implying a frequent interaction between the political and administrative level. While officials find it important to serve the political level, it is also a central part of the role perception that they understand themselves as politically neutral. This creates a cross-pressure that officials try to balance by employing three strategies to shield them from inappropriate political interference: They seek advice, educate and restrict access.

Digitalization of the public sector is here to stay, and it involves significant ethical dilemmas that the top management must actively address. This article offers an overview of ethical themes in digitalization and several concrete examples. The top management has the responsibility, power and opportunities, and it is therefore clear that there is no neutral position for the top management in relation to the use of digital technologies. The article argues that it is not enough for the top management to respect political priorities and involves public values among stakeholders. Based on communicative ethics, the top management must also seek insight into digitalization and formulate its own ethical stance in the digital dilemmas.
