Jever: Greens demand AI revolution for the city administration!
The Greens in Jever are relying on AI to increase efficiency in the city administration, with a pilot project starting in January 2026.

Jever: Greens demand AI revolution for the city administration!
The city of Jever is taking a future-oriented step by having the Greens in the city council initiate the introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) into the city administration. NWZ Online reports that an application has been submitted that proposes a pilot project and a comprehensive concept for the use of AI-supported processes. This is intended to speed up administrative processes, improve service quality and relieve employees.
The first steps are planned for the beginning of 2026, when the “Digital Protocol Help” pilot project is scheduled to start. Council meetings and committees are automatically transcribed, which could lead to a significant increase in efficiency. The meeting minutes should be available within three days after being checked by the administration. Attention is also placed on protecting sensitive data and maintaining transparency and ethical standards.
The role of artificial intelligence in administration
Digital transformation in public administration is no easy undertaking. According to that Efficiency Institute Artificial intelligence is a key technology that can sustainably change administrative business. The use of AI could not only reduce the processing time of applications, but also significantly increase the quality of services provided to citizens. Nevertheless, recent surveys show that less than 50% of citizens are satisfied with the online government services available.
Osnabrück, Münster and Heidelberg are already pioneers in the use of AI, and the Greens see clear role models here. Artificial intelligence could take over routine work, which is particularly important in times of a shortage of skilled workers in administration. An example of how AI can make things easier are chatbots that process citizen queries in natural language, such as Handelsblatt reported.
Provocative questions about citizen participation
In addition to the technical initiatives, the Greens in Jever also want to actively involve citizens in the process. An online survey is intended to give people the opportunity to give their opinions and feedback on the AI applications. This is a crucial step to promote citizen participation and ensure that technical changes actually meet the wishes of the population.
Another proposal from the Greens aims to regularly survey the “modal split” – a term that is important for mobility planning. The aim is to create a solid data basis in order to better understand developments in mobility and to plan future measures based on this.
Overall, it shows that Jever is ready to actively shape digital change. These developments could be of great benefit not only to the administration but also to citizens by simplifying processes and increasing the accessibility of services. The AI-supported initiatives could be an important step towards modern and citizen-friendly administration in the city.
