Abstract
The aim of this article is to identify personality and behavioural conditions as determinants of AI implementation by critical infrastructure (telecommunication and energy) regulators in Poland. To achieve the research objective the results of a survey and experimental research were used. They were conducted between 2022 and 2023 among officials of the Office of Electronic Communications and the Energy Regulatory Office. It was shown that officials are responsible optimists willing to cooperate. They are individuals with relatively low levels of trust in others as well as moderate assertiveness and low risk aversion. Their risk propensity is consistent with prospect theory. They perceive more risk in making decisions under uncertainty than under risk. In contrast officials' succumbing to the status quo effect and the sunk cost effect is dependent on framing effect. Personality and behavioural conditions have implications for the implementation of AI by regulatory authorities.

AI as an element of digital transformation in the activities of critical infrastructure regulators in the context of the personality and behavioural conditions of officials
