We believe that technology can support policymaking activities in various ways. This page explores the different links between legislation and technology and how technology can be an enabler of policymaking and law-making activities. The abundance, length, depth and complexity of legal texts is constantly growing and makes law-making, legal analysis and enforcement ever more complex. However, new technologies, hold significant potential to assist and support policymakers in these tasks.

Infrastructure and projects such as EUR-Lex, ELI and LEOS are facilitators of the "Law as code" paradigm, which underlines the need to make legislation more machine-readable. Are you aware of methods, tools and infrastructure developed within that context? Let us reach out to initiatives, which are modelling in the same way the monitoring of the implementation of legislation!

This forum is an initiative of the European Commission to establish an open policy dialogue on Artificial Intelligence (AI).

The EU’s approach to artificial intelligence centers on excellence and trust, aiming to boost research and industrial capacity while ensuring safety and fundamental rights.

Digital technology is changing people’s lives. The EU’s digital strategy aims to make this transformation work for people and businesses, while helping to achieve its target of a climate-neutral Europe by 2050. The Commission is determined to make this Europe's “Digital Decade”. Europe must now strengthen its digital sovereignty and set standards, rather than following those of others – with a clear focus on data, technology, and infrastructure.
