Problems of legal control of algorithms

Increasingly, law is being implemented in algorithmic codes, an example of which is the smart contract. For years we have had institutions and procedures relating to the control of law. Therefore the research question arises whether, in connection with the increasing combination of law with algorithms, we should not introduce control of algorithms, at least those that may affect human rights and obligations. Some countries already have bodies monitoring the implementation of law into algorithms. Shouldn't Poland follow in their footsteps?
