“The aim of this workshop is to investigate opportunities and challenges in AI applied to the law, with a particular focus on the relevance of the recent technological breakthroughs for AI & Law research and for legal practice” said the press release.

“Questions addressed include the following:

• How can AI & Law research contribute to improving legal work in, for example, courts, law firms, public administration, police practice and businesses?

• How should AI & Law research change in light of the recent research breakthroughs and technological developments? For example, how can traditional research on legal knowledge bases, legal reasoning and legal argument be combined with data science, machine learning and natural language processing?”
