Abstract:This paper analyses the values promoted by political parties in the context of AI systems in law enforcement in order to gain insights into the values that form the legal framework for further AI implications and e-governance concepts. It thereby focuses on the German federal state of Hesse and its political landscape in the context of already in use system Hessendata. Four political parties (CDU, FDP, Grüne, SPD) are analysed by conducting a quantitative content analysis of parties’ textual data and conducted interviews with politicians from the Hessian parliament. The paper seeks to shed light on the rarely researched influence of values on public administration to give an outlook on the values that might shape the policy framework for AI usage in public administration. The analysis finds wide spectrum of liberal and conservative values, that are found in the parties’ value systems. The parties showed differences in the spectrum of promoted values and the focus on different value cluster, representing the clash between individual freedom versus public security. The results further show that political parties tend to consider different values as important the more specific a topic gets, resulting in a clear shift of values in the context of Hessendata.
