Abstract
The use of algorithms as a functional strategy puts the institutional
decision-making paradigms to test and their endurance in the actual
functioning of the institutions. Starting from the appeal exercised by algorithms
and the practice of them as vectors of justice, “algocracy”, in fact, becomes an
indicator of the tendency towards depersonalization and de-responsibility of
institutional powers.
From a legal philosophical perspective, the essay highlights the assumptions
and the critical profiles of this “exemption”. More specifically, through
Gehlen’s theoretical reflection, the article focuses on the need to reach a normative
order that contrasts the excessive algorithmic power, proposing solutions
focused on the regulatory potential of decision-making processes that move
from concrete reality.
