Summary/Abstract: Improving digital skills is one of the main priorities, not only at national, but also at the level of the European Union in terms of a post-pandemic period and the accumulation of crises of all types. Therefore, digitization as a form of work should be seen as a key advantage, as an opportunity to overcome crises. In that sense, we can argue that the essence of the digital transformation of human resources lies in the creation of a culture, a digitalization strategy to achieve an advantage, in turn, digitalization involves learning not just how to use digital skills, but how to use them to achieve sustainability. From this point of view, the aim of the article is to outline the digital transformation in public administration affairs, focusing on the so-called digital competence, as part of the general framework of competences for civil servants at national and supranational level and in the light of the influence of the artificial intelligence (AI). More specifically, the aim is to outline the main problems and challenges, both in formulating and introducing the concept of "digital competence", as well as the challenges to its implementation and application. Therefore, the results of the article could serve for the competent introduction of a workable model for digital competence as part of artificial intelligence in the conditions of a changed environment. The methodology of the article includes comparative analysis of national and supranational levels regarding the European framework of Digital competences and national documents.
