• Resumen

  • The new artificial intelligence law envisions a new reading of classic institutional rules of administrative law in the light of innovations. It enlightens, also the need to go beyond the digitalization process, or the implementation of e-administration. Besides, the idea of an automated public administration which works upon the premises of technology requires not be alien to the regulatory principles of AI. In this article, we will examine not just the software used by public administrations in its transformation but its effects on the provision of public services. Specifically, we will focus on a leisurely reflection on the institution of administrative silence. By juxtaposing the conventional concept of administrative silence with emerging AI-driven procedural practices, we aim to elucidate the transformative impacts of automation on public governance. This article delves into the inherent contradictions in the use of software within Spanish administrative law, questioning whether silence and opacity in algorithmic decision-making might erode the values that the law seeks to uphold. The idea would be to propose a novel doctrinal framework —Algorithmic Good Administration— as an essential evolution in European administrative law, designed to proactively manage the transition towards full procedural automation while preserving fundamental democratic and legal values. This creates a new emerging scenario, in the light of the efficiency paradox in automated administrative action.
