With support from the European AI & Society Fund, Moje Państwo grew into a European digital policy advocacy organisation by attending conferences, discussions and workshops, it strengthened its expertise in how AI and automated decision-making systems are used in the public sector, and in how to influence policy at national and EU level. It is now recognised as an expert on the state's use of technology and has joined two working groups at the Chancellery of the Prime Minister in Poland, one on AI and one on data management. Two of its reports were published on the government's AI portal for public sector staff, and some of its proposals appeared among the amendments to the AI Act. It also won a case forcing the Polish Ministry of Justice to disclose the algorithm that randomly assigns cases to judges, which could change how public bodies share this kind of information with citizens.
