Normative ecosystems and smart governance for integration of artificial intelligence in the circular economy

Abstract

The circular economy is approached in the Republic of Moldova mainly through strategic documents that establish general principles, but without operational mechanisms and without an integrated regulatory framework capable of supporting digital monitoring and institutional interoperability. The expansion of technologies, based on artificial intelligence can contribute to the efficient management of resources, monitoring production flows, preventing waste and leveraging data for public decisions oriented towards sustainability. The purpose of the research is to analyze how normative ecosystems and smart governance can facilitate the integration of artificial intelligence into priority areas of the circular economy in the Republic of Moldova, highlighting the role of cooperation between the public sector, the private sector and research, highlighting the role for technology transfer and the development of innovative solutions, oriented towards sustainability and resilience.
