Fundacja Moje Państwo is a Warsaw-based foundation working to make public institutions more transparent and to improve how they use technology. Its stated aims include strengthening democracy by promoting citizens’ rights to access public information and reuse public-sector information.612 The foundation says it builds tools that help people use public data and works to foster responsible use of technology by the state.3
Founded in 2010 by Daniel Macyszyn, it began by monitoring the work of Poland’s parliament, at a time when information about individual members’ activities was difficult to find in one place.414 Its work now includes research, public-interest legal action, civic technology, education and engagement with public authorities. The foundation has pursued legal measures to widen access to public-sector data and takes part in public debate about how officials use technology.5
A growing focus is artificial intelligence and automated decision-making in government. The foundation has proposed an algorithmic impact assessment for public-sector AI and automated decision systems, intended for use by central and local authorities.11 It has also published guidance on AI and automated decision-making in public procurement and advocates developing and testing standards for their use in the public sector.13 Its work extends beyond Poland: the foundation has described a focus on Central and Eastern Europe, alongside projects and policy work involving the wider European Union and global discussions.14
