The Algorithmic State in Central and Eastern Europe: Comparative Remarks

The paper aims to provide some concluding remarks on the law of the algorithmic state in Central and Eastern Europe. It presents the main findings emerging from a comparison of the experiences of the selected jurisdictions and sheds light on the current state of the art concerning the digitalisation process, the legal frameworks for automated decisions, the level of e-government and digital administration development, as well as the extent to which Artificial Intelligence (AI) is being adopted in administrative activities, the sectors involved, and the emerging issues. The legal systems being considered are compared and contrasted, emphasising both their similarities and differences. Lastly, the results obtained from this collective work leave the floor open for a discussion of the issues and also suggest further areas of research.
