Advancing Justice with Artificial Intelligence
Research in Neuro-Symbolic, Ethical, and Responsible AI
We explore the fusion of deep learning and symbolic reasoning to build AI systems that not only learn from data but also understand and reason with legal principles. This hybrid approach enables us to create more transparent, interpretable, and robust models for complex legal tasks.
Our work in ethical AI focuses on developing frameworks and algorithms that ensure fairness, accountability, and transparency in legal AI systems. We are committed to mitigating bias and promoting justice in the application of AI in the legal domain.
We aim to build AI systems that are not only accurate but also reliable and trustworthy. Our research in reliable AI addresses the challenges of ensuring the robustness, security, and safety of AI models in high-stakes legal applications.
Explainability is crucial for the adoption of AI in the legal profession. We are developing novel XAI techniques that provide clear and understandable explanations for the decisions made by AI models, fostering trust and enabling meaningful human oversight.
We are at the forefront of research in agentic AI, creating autonomous agents that can perform complex legal tasks, such as legal research, contract analysis, and case management. Our goal is to develop intelligent agents that can assist legal professionals and enhance their capabilities.
Our research in responsible AI encompasses a holistic approach to the development and deployment of AI in the legal sector. We consider the societal impact of our work and strive to create AI systems that are aligned with human values and contribute to a more just and equitable society.
