Law and AI
The AI-Act
A problem with using AI technologies is that most technologies do not provide deterministic or even reliably safe results. The AI-Act provides regulations for AI systems (as called in the AI-Act) which also heavily interferes with using and developing such AI systems. The AI-Act is still very new and until now there is not much case law on it yet.
The first scope of the project is to bring together two points of view on the AI-Act, i.e., the view of computer scientists and the view of legal professionals. The goal is to identify concepts for AI-Act friendly research, software development, and software usage.

Legal ISA
See here for details about Intelligent Subjective Agents (ISA).
Legal texts are written for legal professionals and not for, e.g., computer scientists, who nevertheless have to conduct research and create software while complying with legal requirements. The second scope is the goal to build an ISA like ChatBot with a focus on legal and AI-Act related topics.
Generally, LLMs have demonstrated good language processing capabilities, including the processing of legal texts. Some first ideas are proposed in the following publication:
