Bureaucratic Denial of Service (BDoS) is my term for a shift between citizens and local administrations. AI lowers the cost of interacting with institutions. The same shift enables democratic participation and the deliberate overloading of institutions.

The programme of the Informatik Festival 2026 in Dresden lists the paper “Towards a Bureaucratic Denial of Service: Qualitative Insights into the emerging AI Escalation between Citizens and local Public Administrations” (22 September 2026, 11:00, in German).
