Occupational licensing can serve legitimate public interests, but it can also create unnecessary barriers to entering the labor market. Czechia regulates more than 300 professions, and for many of them little is known about whether requirements are in line with practice in comparable EU countries. The Government Analytical Office developed an automated multi-agent system to assess all regulated professions and provide evidence for ministerial decisions on where rules could be simplified.

The Czech Republic is modernising its Emergency Call Center system by integrating AI tools to enhance its efficiency and functionality. The upgrade will create a unified, modernised environment, including a dispatcher interface, application, and database, ensuring seamless integration across all components of the integrated rescue system. Additionally, advanced AI-powered analytics will be employed to optimise processes and set capacity parameters, improving overall system performance.

This project aims to enhance citizens' access to digital public administration services using AI.

The AIDIG project, implemented by the National Pedagogical Institute of the Czech Republic, helps schools integrate the European framework for teachers’ digital skills (DigCompEdu).
