Background
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is understood as set of technological tools, that based on the perception of surrounding information, conduct the actions simulating human behaviour (Russell and Norving, 2020), and may bring on the potential benefits in managing social security institutions.
For instance, the following cases have been documented:
a. improvements in operational efficiency with routine and repetitive task automation (Chew and Achananuparp, 2022);
b. new forms of personalized interaction with people by means of intelligent chatbots (Aggarwal, et al., 2023; Parmar et al., 2022; Wilson and Marasoiu, 2022);
c. collection and interpretation of large amounts of data helping on a precise medical diagnoses and interventions (Ruiz y Velázquez, 2023; Xu et al., 2021);
d. contributions on decision making through automation learning algorithms assisting to disability benefits prediction (Väänänen, 2021) or disability benefits granting (Glaze et al., 2021).
Thus, the unavoidable incorporation of AI to all areas related to social security raises important challenges that must be discussed regarding the minimum conditions in infrastructure, the skills of human talent and the relevant legislation guiding the proper use of these technological tools.
These challenges imply the development of governance frameworks that generate shared responsibility and co-production of ethical policies, regulations and guidelines among all the actors involved (government, companies, experts and civil society) to ensure alignment with AI systems with the full exercise of rights (IDB, 2020), well-being, equity and human dignity.
Objective
Review experiences on the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) helping to understand the implications to its imminent incorporation, the trends and challenges for social security institutions.
