The Principle of Transparency in Administrative Decisions in Light of Artificial Intelligence for Sustainable Development Goals: A Legal Study

Abstract

Objective: The article aims to evaluate the level of transparency in administrative decisions in light of artificial intelligence for sustainable development goals.   Theoretical Framework: It should be noted that administrative decisions have always played an important role in the context of contemporary events, and without them, ensuring legal security is practically unimaginable. Not without reason does transparency occupy the most crucial place in administrative decisions.   Method: This qualitative approach involved engaging a panel of subject matter experts who possess extensive knowledge and experience in administrative law, artificial intelligence applications in governance, and public administration within Jordan.   Results and Discussion: The adoption of artificial intelligence in administrative decision-making processes in Jordan requires a comprehensive framework to ensure transparency. The current low index of transparency indicates that citizens may not fully understand how decisions are being made or the role that artificial intelligence plays in these processes.   Research Implications: The research has limitations which involve not considering all possible indicators and benchmarks for evaluation. Future research will involve expanding the list of consolidated indicators.   Originality/value: Education and awareness campaigns are crucial for improving transparency. By educating the public about how artificial intelligence is used in administrative decisions, the government can demystify the technology and reduce misconceptions.
