Law and Artificial Intelligence, Not a World Apart

On 18 May, Special Interest Group AI, Ethics and Law will host a symposium examining the role of Artificial Intelligence in legal decision-making from legal and technical perspectives.

Driven by the spectacular progress in AI in recent years, especially in machine learning and natural-language processing, there has been increasing attention for the question how artificial intelligence (AI) can support judicial decision-making. In this symposium the possibility of such support will be discussed form both a legal and a technical perspective. There will be two key note speakers: Giovanni Sartor (University of Bologna and European University Institute Florence) and Manuella van der Put (judge in the district court of 's Hertogenbosch). The symposium will end with a panel discussion and a poster session.
