Talk Title: Big Data, AI, and Law
Abstract:
Law is at the heart of every society, and is vitally important to people’s lives in all aspects, through applying justice, addressing human rights, and promoting social values. Artificial Intelligence and Law have crossed paths. Creating and applying Law involves information processing, reasoning, and decision making, which correspond to the techniques of information retrieval and extraction, knowledge representation and reasoning, natural language processing, machine learning and data mining. In addition to these shared interests, AI and Law also have a shared subject. In law, rules have exceptions, reasons are weighed, and principles provide guidance. Similarly, in AI, reasoning is uncertain, knowledge is context-dependent, and behavior is adaptive. Therefore, we believe that better understanding of AI problems can benefit law, and applying law in AI can benefit regulating AI.
