L'utilizzo dei big data e dell'IA per una migliore qualità della regolamentazione

This paper analyses the prospects of using big data and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to improve legislation (better regulation), in particular by means of impact assessment. After a brief background on the topic of better regulation, the new paradigm based on big data and AI will be investigated. The three phases of the data-centred regulation cycle will be tackled in succession, namely, (1) data collection and creation, (2) ex-ante impact analysis for policy planning and regulation design, and (3) ex-post monitoring and evaluation. Finally, the challenges for an acceptable use of AI and big data will be explored, focusing on the need to conform public action to a legal-ethical framework for data management and use.
