A. General questions

Question 1 — Is there a national act containing a legal definition of Automated Administrative Decisions?

Question 2 — Is there a general legal basis (either at the constitutional level or in the Administrative Procedure Act) for the use of algorithmic automation and/or artificial intelligence (AI) by public authorities (government, agencies, local authorities, and specialised bodies)? If no such legal basis exists, are there any legislative provisions that permit public authorities to experiment with algorithmic automation or AI?

Question 3 — Do public authorities rely on algorithmic automation/AI in their daily operations? If yes, to what extent? Which areas are most affected by automation (e.g., security, policing, immigration, transport, tax management, welfare, health and employment services, education, justice, or digital identity)?

Question 4 — What legal requirements apply to the use of algorithmic automation or AI by public authorities — for example, in terms of privacy, cybersecurity, dataset quality, impact assessments, transparency obligations, access to source code, the right to explanations, compulsory human involvement, and the right to obtain review or remedy? Are there sector-specific regulations on Automated Administrative Decisions (e.g., public procurement, taxation)?

Question 5 — Who builds the algorithmic technologies used by public authorities? Are these developed by public entities, private companies, or hybrid bodies?
