In the legal field, the Autonomous Entitat Autònoma del Diari Oficial i de Publications (EADOP) has as its mission, on the one hand, the official publication, through the DOGC, of the laws of the Generalitat of Catalonia, of the general provisions issued by the Government and the Administration of the Generalitat, and also of acts, announcements and other documents of the Generalitat and of other entities or persons, when it corresponds in accordance with the legal system. On the other hand, it is the mission of the EADOP to contribute to the knowledge and dissemination of current law applicable in Catalonia.

Very often, legal language is a barrier that prevents citizens from easily understanding legal texts. To eliminate this obstacle, the Government makes available to users of the Legal Portal of Catalonia and to the general public the summaries of Catalan law rules in plain language obtained from generative artificial intelligence. It is already available in, the Legal Portal of the Generalitat of Catalonia summaries of the rules of Catalan law prepared with generative artificial intelligence.
