The transformation of law-making through AI-assisted processing of legal norms and the "Law as Code" principle
Print
This project examines the growing use of artificial intelligence in legislative drafting and the emerging concept of “Law as Code”, which aims to represent legal rules in machine-readable and, in some cases, executable formats. It analyses current technological developments, international experiences, and potential applications in legislation and public administration. The study assesses opportunities and challenges related to efficiency, transparency, traceability, democratic legitimacy, and legal certainty, and identifies policy options for the responsible use of these approaches in German law-making.
