The challenge is well known: by 2030, around 30 percent of employees in the Berlin administration are expected to retire. The resulting shortage of skilled workers puts significant pressure on existing structures. At the same time, studies show that up to 85 percent of routine administrative tasks can be handled more efficiently with artificial intelligence.
AI has long since found its way into everyday work – this is also reflected in a survey we conducted as part of our workshops with the Berlin administration. In response to the (non-representative) question “How do you use AI at work: very secretly, very officially, or not at all?”, “very secretly” came out clearly on top. The interest and the need are there, but so far, an official, data-protection-compliant solution has been missing. This is exactly where BärGPT comes in: as a GDPR-compliant service that administrative staff can use officially – without legal grey areas and without additional costs.
