Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference proceedingspeer-review

Abstract

Automated decision-making in administrative law holds the promise of considerable efficiency gains, enhanced consistency, and increased transparency. This extended abstract distills a qualitative study based on semi-structured expert interviews that adopts a grounded theory approach to investigate the preconditions, constraints, and opportunities for embedding the concept of Digital Twin of Administrative Law (DTAL) into legislative and administrative processes while safeguarding the Rule of Law.
