Resumen

This study aims to explore the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in overseeing transparency and rationality in public works in Peru, with the potential to identify strategies and best practices that can be useful in mitigating corruption and promoting economic growth, political stability, and social justice. To achieve this goal, a literature review was conducted, including scientific articles, government reports, and other relevant documents. The literature review helped identify key findings related to the application of AI and monitoring transparency and rationality in public works in Peru. The results indicate that AI can be a valuable tool for detecting patterns and trends related to transparency as an indirect way to assess corruption in public works, which can help prevent and deter public officials making decisions at each stage of project execution. However, several challenges and limitations in implementing AI in public administration in Peru were also identified, such as a lack of resources, infrastructure, technological capacity, and resistance to change. In this regard, it is suggested that AI can be a useful tool to enhance transparency and rationality in public works in Peru, but further research is needed to confirm the benefits of monitoring public works through AI. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2025.
