Society Of Artificial Intelligence And Law

We envisage the legal world would change more in the next 20 years than it has in the past two centuries. In the legal market, the changes will primarily be taking place in technology, which will impact lawyers and the courts. Legal institutions and lawyers are therefore at crossroads because we are living in an era of unprecedented technological changes in what our machines can do. Courtesy of cloud computing, information and processing power are increasingly being made available as a utility. However, Institutions will try to preserve the problem to which they are the solution. As professionals, we need to be open-minded because the purpose of lawyers is to help to support society’s needs of the law. We therefore established the Society of Artificial Intelligence and Law (SAIL), to join a growing movement of exploiting technology in forging new paths for the law, our most important social institution. Through promoting research and providing a platform for academics and practitioners alike, SAIL fosters the integration of ethical and societal priorities into the development of fundamentally integrative AI-Legal technologies and approaches.
