Abstract

The economic potential of using artificial intelligence technologies to optimize financial management of local communities is substantiated. The study outlines the potential opportunities and advantages of using large language models (LLM) in combination with retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) technology. These technologies aim to introduce a new level of interaction between specialists of local financial authorities and the "knowledge base" accumulated through financial, management, and accounting documents. This "knowledge base" is part of document management in conducting public administration activities by territorial communities. Examples of using artificial intelligence tools in public finance management of foreign countries are considered. Vectors of increasing the economic potential of using artificial intelligence technologies in public finance management are identified. The existing local LLM and RAG solutions are analyzed, and their features, advantages and disadvantages are identified.

The conceptual architecture of RAG with local LLM is proposed in the context of these technologies' use by local financial authorities as an add-on to electronic document management. The prototype software application is developed, demonstrating the operation mechanism of the proposed architecture and the functionality of the RAG model prototype with integration into the local LLM Ollama model. Potential risks of implementing artificial intelligence technologies in the public finance management system are identified and measures are proposed to eliminate or minimize them. A significant economic potential exists in this technology, which can transform public finance management, especially at the local level. The use of these tools contributes to substantial improvement in the efficiency of public administration, automation of routine processes, and analytics, which in turn allows for more accurate forecasting of budget indicators and optimization of resource allocation.
