The Operative Information Center-OMM has launched E-Qanun, a new artificial intelligence-based legal assistant designed to provide citizens with immediate access to information regarding the legislation of the Republic of Azerbaijan. The platform aims to simplify the process of understanding complex legal texts, offering instant answers to queries related to labor, family, tax, and property law.
According to the Operative Information Center-OMM, the tool serves as a digital bridge between the public and the country's extensive legal framework. While legal documents can often be difficult for the general public to interpret, E-Qanun allows users to ask questions in plain language and receive responses based directly on current Azerbaijani statutes. The service is provided free of charge and does not require registration, reflecting a commitment to increasing legal literacy across the country.
The development of such AI-driven tools aligns with Azerbaijan's broader digital transformation strategy, which seeks to integrate modern technology into public services and legal accessibility. By utilizing artificial intelligence to navigate the Unified Electronic Base of Normative Legal Acts, the E-Qanun project provides a streamlined alternative to traditional information gathering, supporting the government's initiatives for a more transparent and digitally accessible legal environment in Baku and throughout the regions.
