Digitization has a profound impact on law, shaping both private relations and the exercise of public authority. Its implications cannot be captured solely through normative analysis of risks and benefits but require an epistemological approach that fully considers the specific logic of artificial intelligence models. Comparing legal and digital epistemologies is essential to safeguard the rule of law, democratic values, and societal trust. In public administration, transparency and comprehensibility of algorithmic processes are crucial to ensure accountability, foster confidence, and enable a successful digital transformation that balances efficiency, pluralism, and the protection of fundamental rights.
