On October 15th, 2025, Government Tomorrow Forum has opened its first Summit in Paris with a workshop focused on tackling bureaucracy. For the first time in Europe, Executive Director of the UAE’s “Zero Bureacracy” program participated in a working session with ministers, business founders, investors, and academics.

The Government Tomorrow Forum has researched how AI can be integrated into public services and identifies three main challenges that might occur during this process. Among them are social concerns, lack of global AI coordination, and low level of organizational readiness. The GTF team outlined recommendations for overcoming these obstacles, emphasizing the importance of data management and cybersecurity. Governments worldwide can use these insights to navigate AI adoption in the public sector effectively.

We start a new series of articles on GTF Insights based on the recent survey about AI adoption. Conducted with the participation of experts in AI from academia, business, and consultancy sectors, our new survey employed a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods to gauge expert opinions and identify the top challenges for national and regional governments in implementing AI technology in the public sphere and the top application areas to start with for winning fast results and public trust.
