| description | <p>This study employs a qualitative design grounded in documentary analysis and a systematic review of the literature to examine how data quality, institutional capacities, and governance arrangements condition the adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) in Bahia’s public administration. The investigation evaluates how governmental information infrastructures, digital maturity levels, and organizational coordination shape the state’s ability to transition from data availability to data intelligence. The analysis identifies a recurring pattern across Brazilian states in which technical, institutional, cultural, and legal limitations accumulate at multiple territorial scales and restrict the effective use of AI systems. These constraints manifest in data quality dimensions such as completeness, timeliness, structure, interoperability, and licensing; in institutional capacities, including agency participation, workforce skills, and coordination mechanisms; and in governance maturity, reflected in regulatory consistency, ethical oversight, and accountability structures. Together, these factors determine the feasibility of deploying AI tools that support transparency, operational efficiency, and evidence-based decision-making. The study contributes a replicable methodology for diagnosing readiness conditions, assessing bottlenecks, and prioritizing policy interventions in contexts characterized by heterogeneous institutional capacity and limited statistical visibility. By integrating empirical evidence from data inventories, digital ecosystem assessments, and state program documentation, the analysis outlines a strategic pathway to strengthen foundational infrastructure and enable the responsible use of AI in the public sector.</p> |
