Abstract Increasingly, federal agencies employ artificial intelligence to help direct their enforcement efforts, adjudicate claims and other matters, and craft regulations or regulatory approaches. Theoretically, artificial intelligence could enable agencies to address endemic problems, most notably 1) the inconsistent decision-making and departure from policy attributable to low-level officials' exercise of discretion; and 2) the imprecise nature of agency rules. But two characteristics of artificial intelligence, its opaqueness and the nonintuitive nature of its correlations, threaten core values of administrative law. Administrative law reflects the principles that 1) persons be judged individually according to announced criteria; 2) administrative regulations reflect some means-end rationality; and 3) administrative decisions be subject to review by external actors and transparent to the public. Artificial intelligence has adverse implications for all three of those critical norms. The resultant tension, at least for now, will constrain administrative agencies' most ambitious potential uses of artificial intelligence.

摘要 越来越多的联邦机构使用人工智能来帮助指导他们的执法工作、裁决索赔和其他事项，以及制定法规或监管方法。从理论上讲，人工智能可以使机构解决地方性问题，最明显的是 1）由于低级官员行使自由裁量权导致的决策不一致和偏离政策；2) 代理规则的不精确性。但人工智能的两个特征，即其不透明性和其相关性的非直觉性，威胁着行政法的核心价值。行政法体现了以下原则： 1）根据公布的标准对个人进行个别判断；2) 行政法规体现了某种手段—目的的合理性；3) 行政决定接受外部行为者的审查并对公众透明。人工智能对所有这三个关键规范都有不利影响。由此产生的紧张局势，至少在目前，将限制行政机构最雄心勃勃的人工智能潜在用途。
