Service: Smart regulation - Using Artificial Intelligence to train computers to interpret regulation

Responsible organisation: Agentschap Informatie Vlaanderen and Agentschap Binnenland Bestuur (Local Government)

Regulations are extremely valuable information that is relevant to everyone in our society. However, the large amount of divergent and incoherent regulation leads to information silos. There are so many different types of documents that there is little structure to be found in them. Moreover, the regulations on a particular subject are often spread over various (basic) laws, amendments to, additions to and improvements to those laws. That is impractical. Lawyers are working to clarify this by harmonizing (coordinating) and bringing together (codifying) this fragmented legislation. But this does not yet solve the problem sufficiently. With the project 'Smart Regulations' we want to offer a solution by using Artificial Intelligence to train computers to interpret regulations. For example, computers can very accurately extract the correct information from those regulations for specific target groups (this can be people, applications or machines). The goal is therefore to be able to offer an 'engine' on unstructured information sources from legislation, regulations and decision-making that users can subscribe to in order to get data and additional insights from these information sources more quickly according to their needs. This is how regulation becomes smart. There are even new insights emerging.
