A aplicação da inteligência artificial no pregão eletrônico: desafios e oportunidades para a transparência e eficiência das licitações públicas com foco na Lei 14.133/2021

Abstract

This paper addresses the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in electronic bidding, highlighting its challenges and opportunities for transparency and efficiency in public procurement. The research presents an overview of how AI can revolutionize bidding processes, simplify irregularities, and promote the democratization of access to public procurement. However, it also discusses the technological, ethical, and legal obstacles to its implementation, such as the need for specific regulation, systems integration, and professional training. In addition, the study explores the benefits of this technology, such as the automation of repetitive tasks, greater social control, and fraud mitigation. The analysis extends to the impact on private sector organizations, expanding the debate on the adoption of AI in bidding beyond the public sector. It is concluded that, to ensure its effectiveness, it is necessary to invest in infrastructure, clear regulation, and technical training, ensuring that AI is an instrument for strengthening transparency and equity in bidding processes.
