Abstract

Although political decisions deeply affect our personal and social lives and determine the future of any society, their quality is often disputable. This is due to elements of poor information and irrationality that conventional decision-making involves, like insufficient documentation, biased evaluation of the data collected, absurd preferences, or even corrupting practices of the responsible politicians or administrative personnel. This article explores the possibility to improve the quality of political decisions in general, and more specifically of governmental decisions concerning legal regulation, by introducing artificial intelligence applications into the process of decision-making. Three topics deserve special attention: 1) the question on compliance with constitutional prerequisites that characterize every modern democracy, 2) the problem of personal data collection and processing, and 3) the question related to political accountability.
