Division for Analysis and Policy

The Division for Analysis and Policy plays an important role in facilitating Denmark’s comprehensive approach to developing the digital public sector, both through strategic efforts and through the adoption of emergent technologies in the Danish public sector.

The Division for Analysis and Policy plays an important role in facilitating the joint digitisation efforts of the central government, the Danish municipalities and the Danish regions i.e. through the overall management of joint digital strategies.

The division currently focuses on the potential benefits of artificial intelligence (AI) within the Danish public sector. Preliminary results show that artificial intelligence can create value in e.g. case handling processes and service delivery to citizens as well as through cost-efficiency and lower carbon footprint. As an integral part of the work with artificial intelligence, the division follows the debate around data ethics and conducts analysis of trust in the digital public sector.

Another important agenda is digital-ready legislation. Legislation drafted without e.g. unnecessary procedural requirements and vague terms lays the ground for efficient and digital public administration.
