Service: Calculemus FLINT - Ensuring understandability of normative law texts

Responsible organisation: (Central-Government)

Calculemus FLINT is a method for interpreting sources and applying norms. Calculemus is a roadmap for solving normative questions. Flint (Formal Language for the Interpretation of Normative Theories) is the domain-specific language for interpreting judicial sources. The goal of the legal engineering aspect of the program is to promote the exchange of norms between different groups, and to investigate the different ways norms can be handled. In addition, the method can also help explain laws and investigate whether they are executable. An organization must be able to explain that it is legitimately carrying out laws – also when it uses AI to do so. Calculemus Flint ensures that normative law texts are understandable for all parties, which can improve the acceptance of and normative basis for artificially taken decisions. End users of this program can be policy makers or legislative lawyers, but also civilians subject to certain laws.
