 inar series | Trust Matters: Citizens and AI in the Public Sector </a>\nHo
 w do citizens perceive the use of AI in government? While AI has the poten
 tial to improve efficiency and service quality\, it may also influence pub
 lic trust— either strengthening it through better performance or undermi
 ning it if it is perceived as unfair or inappropriate. How these systems s
 hould be designed and deployed in ways that align with citizens’ expecta
 tions\, feelings\, and needs remains an open question. Emerging evidence i
 s beginning to shed light on these dynamics\, yet the topic remains under-
 discussed in current policy debates. Based on a survey across six EU count
 ries and more than 4\,000 respondents\, this webinar presents findings on 
 citizens’ perceptions of AI in government and discusses them with a pane
