TL;DR: Small municipalities have opportunities to improve efficiency and services using LLMs, but there are important challenges to overcome to ensure that this serves the public interest
Abstract: Small and medium-sized municipalities have opportunities to improve efficiency and delivery of services through the use of large language models. There are concerns about the appropriateness of this technology, as well as challenges to its implementation, which must be addressed if these gains are to be realized. A set of principles and prospects is proposed for the adoption of these models, along with a brief case study of their appropriateness for use in a municipal information system.
