Wearing my @openfisca Association hat however, I am only proud that another international institution after OECD, @dpgalliance and the G7 recognises further the impact, relevance and uniqueness of OpenFisca for #RulesAsCode. I hope that this direct recognition by @EUCommission will also provide more stable support than the national one that tends to vary often as the political context changes 💪
Onwards! <§>
Until November, solutions were only listed through aggregation of national portals. In the last quarter, the @European Commission decided to expand sourcing by identifying “standout solutions” that go way beyond national usage. We are proud to be part of the first cohort to be directly listed as a solution for EU-wide (and beyond!) interoperability for #RulesAsCode, alongside other widely recognised #DigitalCommons such as @decidim and @consuldemocracy.

Mit "Law as Code" zum proaktiven, fairen und effizienten Staat? Gesetze sind oft in komplexen, schwer verständlichen Texten formuliert, die für Laien und sogar Fachleute schwierig zu interpretieren sind. Die Umsetzung von neuen Gesetzen in (digitale) Verwaltungsprozesse passiert oft manuell und ist langwierig. Mit #LawAsCode oder #RulesAsCode können Gesetze und Vorschriften in eine maschinenlesbare Form gebracht werden, die von Computern verarbeitet werden kann.

#RulesAsCode
I will present OpenFisca and how #DigitalCommons are the path to sovereignty at the “#GovTech Eurovision” panel today in Rzeszów 🇵🇱
Looking forward to this round table with high-level representatives of #DigitalTransformation, and maybe new prototypes of #RulesAsCode in Europe in the next months!
In these #RulesAsCode recommendations for the #G7, we promote #OpenSource, #BetterRules (RaC from the drafting phase), and suggest to start with social benefits assessment for high impact.

Haven't posted about #rulesascode here in a bit...
Had fun talking with the RaC Guild about categorizing Rules as Code technologies, recently.
Since August I've been very slowly working on getting the reasoner in the new Blawx prototype up to par with the current version. I expect to be finished with that major refactoring project this weekend.
I expect to have a MVP of Blawx v2 next month, and a live version online early in the new year.🤞🏻
I wrote a paper on governance of AI & Rules as Code and it's now up on the homepage of
if you're interested in such things.
Very close 🤏🏻 to being able to create a demo with my new §Blawx prototype demonstrating 4 of the myriad ways neuro-symbolic AI can be used to enhance #RulesAsCode: drafting the code, running an interview, converting facts to symbolic representations, and converting symbolic AI results to natural language.
Stay tuned...
🌟 Sneak Peek Alert! 🌟
We're excited to announce that Owen Miller will be giving a lightning talk at our upcoming event! 💻
Owen will discuss the patterns leading to the spread of suboptimal software in our society and its impacts. He'll also explore how government can play a role in addressing this issue. ⚙️
Don't miss this and the other insightful presentations on Wednesday, 5th June at 7pm AEST! 🌏✨
We have speaker slots still available, message us now to join in. 📨
This is huge for #RulesAsCode. Not only the 20% improvement in reasoning, but the fact that with no human intervention they got executable declarative encodings 85% of the time.
It means having an LLM draft declarative logic code for you can work, and the encodings you will get will be useful as compared to just giving it the text.
Now we just need to see to what extent it also works in §Blawx, with the semantics of sCASP, applied to law...

Got a little bit of work done on the new §Blawx prototype, and the code editors are now fully-functional.
Next up is to make some architecture decisions and re-implement the back-end reasoner and API. Hoping to make it more scalable, more secure, and easier to maintain than in v1.
Once that's done, the kind of demos I can do of neuro-symbolic AI for Law get a lot cooler. #RulesAsCode #LegalTech
