Previous research about expertise sharing is expanded to also involve expertise sharing with citizens. This paper makes a case for including research of expertise sharing between representatives of the public administration and the citizens in CSCW research, and argue for research on if and how a chatbot in the public sector can share expertise when rules need to be applied to a citizen’s life situation.enGiving help or information?
