Abstract

COVID 19 has had an accelerating effect on society, from which the government sectors dedicated to the issuance of legal regulations (laws and administrative regulations) do not escape, trying to do it in a more agile and innovative way, taking into account the circumstances suffered. The Rules as Code movement occupies a place in this sense, with ongoing experiences in different countries and institutions, as well as expert people dedicated to the installation of new processes and multidisciplinary methods, converging in order to have official versions of the law, from the very moment the legal norm was born, but in language understandable and usable by machines. That is to say, a version in computer code, parallel to the traditional version in natural language, without having to go through intermediate interpretation and translation processes. The paper describes this movement and its alternatives, with a final focus on one of the exponents close to the author, the OG Model, with a promising future.
