摘要

Herbert Simon's pioneering developments on bounded rationality and artificial intelligence (AI) have had a profound and lasting impact on public administration. This paper systematically examines Simon's legacy, exploring how his concepts have shaped scholarship in three core areas: decision-making, human performance, and organizational knowledge. By connecting Simon's insights into contemporary advancements in AI, we highlight several avenues for further research. We uncover opportunities to enhance administrative processes while addressing pressing ethical and operational challenges, such as designing adaptive frameworks that balance innovation with accountability in public administration. Simon's work continues to offer essential guidance for navigating the complexities of governance in the digital age. Os desenvolvimentos pioneiros de Herbert Simon sobre racionalidade limitada e intelig & ecirc;ncia artificial (IA) tiveram um impacto profundo e duradouro na administra & ccedil;& atilde;o p & uacute;blica. Este artigo examina sistematicamente o legado de Simon, explorando como seus conceitos moldaram a pesquisa em tr & ecirc;s & aacute;reas centrais: tomada de decis & atilde;o, desempenho humano e conhecimento organizacional. Ao conectar os insights de Simon aos avan & ccedil;os contempor & acirc;neos em IA, destacamos v & aacute;rias vias para pesquisas futuras. Identificamos oportunidades para aprimorar os processos administrativos, ao mesmo tempo em que abordamos desafios & eacute;ticos e operacionais emergentes, como o desenvolvimento de estruturas adaptativas que equilibrem inova & ccedil;& atilde;o e responsabilidade na administra & ccedil;& atilde;o p & uacute;blica. O trabalho de Simon continua a oferecer orienta & ccedil;& otilde;es pr & aacute;ticas para lidar com as complexidades da governan & ccedil;a na era digital.
