Abstract: Artificial intelligence is becoming an increasingly significant factor in the economic and social development of countries worldwide. The use of artificial intelligence in regional economic governance has a number of specific aspects that have not yet been fully understood and incorporated into the traditional regional governance system.
Aim. The paper is to identify various aspects of artificial intelligence’s involvement in regional economic governance.
Materials and methods. The study combines theoretical and empirical methods, including a systematic review on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in economics, a classification of AI technologies, an analysis of their impact on key regional indicators, and a comparison of AI implementation practices using statistical data and case studies.
Results. The proposed framework for integrating AI into regional economic management systems can be used as a methodological basis for designing similar institutions in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. The developed classifications of AI types and the identified paths for adapting them to the design of regional management systems are of practical value.
Conclusions. Based on the conducted study, it can be concluded that artificial intelligence is becoming a key tool for improving the effectiveness of regional economic management, providing a qualitatively new level of analysis, forecasting, and decision-making. The implementation of AI contributes to the optimization of resource allocation, improved coordination between industries, and increased transparency and the validity of management actions. The proposed model of a regional AI center and approaches to integrating industry-specific intelligent systems demonstrate the potential for developing a comprehensive digital governance infrastructure. However, AI development requires addressing a number of technological, institutional, and ethical challenges, including data standardization, security, personnel training, and the development of a regulatory framework. Thus, artificial intelligence has the potential to become a systemic factor in sustainable regional development, provided a comprehensive approach to its implementation is adopted.
