Jüri Raidla discusses state reform in a Vikerraadio interview. He finds that the Estonian state is in quite good shape, but it is necessary to find ways to save money. The population is declining, making state governance more complex.
Raidla points out that the number of working people in Estonia has fallen below 50%. This means that the number of taxpayers is decreasing. He believes that artificial intelligence can help in state reform and should be used as an ally.
In 2018, 67 state reform proposals were submitted. Raidla finds that some of them are important. For example, it was suggested to shorten administrative procedures and improve the quality of management. He highlights that ministers should undergo public hearings.
Raidla emphasizes that state reform is not yet complete. He believes that ideas are progressing and artificial intelligence can help. He believes in Estonia's future and in the constitution, which ensures stability.
