Main Theme: AI, Law and Ethics
IRI§25, the 28th iteration of IRIS, will focus on AI, law and resulting social implications. Since more than 40 years, expert systems are used in law, with their popularity peaking in the 1980s and then falling in the 1990s and 2000s. Ever since the 2010s, they are on the rise again, with the development of more advanced AI leading to a new breakthrough in the 2020s.
Everyone talks about generative AI these days, but one thing is clear – the role of attorneys, lawyers and judges as upholders of law and resolvers of disputes cannot be taken over even by the most advanced AI. We cassume though, that AI will play a major role as a supporting tool and to deal with all the repetitive standard cases – and this will make law more accessible for the masses and more affordable. To achieve this in a safe and ethical manner, we will need strict technical, legal and sociological rulesets and observations. Equity is the all-important goal of law, but reality doesn’t always promote this.
The bandwith of the topic of IT and Law is of course very broad, including
- E-Government, E-Justice, E-Commerce, E-Democracy
- Theory, information and visualization of law
- Privacy, Data Governance and Data Protection
- IP Law, Cybersecurity, Cybercrime and Digital Evidence
and much more.
