Digitalisierung: Wildbergers Deutschland-App – nur ein Chatbot vor dem alten Behördenapparat?
Der Digitalminister plant eine App für Verwaltungsdienstleistungen. SPD-Politiker warnen vor einer oberflächlichen Lösung, hinter der ein veraltetes System steht, und planen eine Alternative.
Berlin - The promise of completing administrative processes from the comfort of one's sofa is the claim made by Karsten Wildberger's (CDU) Germany app. The project is intended to be one of those "quick wins" for his party, which aims to make citizens feel that progress is being made in the digitization of administration. The Germany app is supposed to become the central access point for state services, allowing citizens to submit applications, book appointments, verify their identity, and retrieve information.
It will be implemented by SAP and Deutsche Telekom. However, within the red-green coalition, there is growing concern that while a KI-supported interface may emerge, it will primarily serve as a guide through bureaucracy rather than driving significant changes in the underlying structures. Digital policy critics from the SPD, who exclusively obtained a position paper from the Handelsblatt, argue that the Germany app must go beyond being just a wayfinding tool through red tape and demand a centralized citizen account to prevent this outcome.
