Hybrid intelligence as a tool for digital development of civic engagement in public administration

The article substantiates the peculiarities of civil society’s digital development in implementing hybrid intelligence in public administration. The relevance of the topic is driven by the rapid growth of digital technologies that affect the decision-making process in the public sector, transforming classical forms of civic engagement and creating the need for new theoretical and methodological approaches to studying the interaction between an individual, the state, and algorithmic systems. The article aims to identify the potential and risks of hybrid intelligence for civil society and explore ways to preserve human agency and democratic oversight in the digital era. The key theoretical approaches to the concept of hybrid intelligence are systematized. The phenomenon of algorithmic governance is analyzed as a form of delegating managerial functions to artificial intelligence systems, which define the main digital challenges for civic participation. The methodological foundation of the study is based on general scientific methods of analysis, synthesis, comparison, generalization, and forecasting. These methods help identify the distinctive features of hybrid governance and its influence on digital participation, as well as analyze digital initiatives that either strengthen or weaken the agency of civil society. Special attention is given to the risks of algorithmic opacity, digital inequality, the delegation of responsibility, and the space restriction for public oversight. The article also emphasizes the importance of the ethical dimension of digital governance. The development of digital literacy among the population, the implementation of open-source code, and mechanisms for explainable AI. In this context, successful international practices, including the vTaiwan project, are examined to demonstrate the potential of inclusive digital participation through crowdsourcing tools. The conclusions substantiate that civil society should not only adapt to new conditions of hybrid governance but also actively shape regulatory, institutional, and technological frameworks for the functioning of the digital state. The concept of «hybrid intelligence democracy» is proposed, which envisions active participation of citizens in the creation, oversight, and ethical regulation of public administration algorithms.
