Abstract Two critical policy questions will determine the impact of generative artificial intelligence (AI) on the knowledge economy and the creative sector. The first concerns how we think about the training of such models—in particular, whether the creators or owners...

Purpose This study aims to investigate the use of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) in the legal profession, focusing on its fit with tasks performed by legal practitioners and its impact on performance and adoption. Design/methodology/approach This study uses a mixed...

The profession of law has changed along with many other industries due to the quick development of artificial intelligence (AI). However, in applications specialized to the legal domain, general-purpose AI models like ChatGPT, DeepSeek, and Gemini show limits. This evaluation...

Courts agree that the federal government may not seize a person in the United States and immediately ship them off to a prison in another country without providing any opportunity for judicial review. But this basic constitutional rule has proven...

Introduction Since the nation’s founding, major political parties have clashed over the rules that govern our elections.[1] The intensity of these conflicts has fluctuated, with some periods marked by subdued disputes and others by fierce legislative battles and litigation. Over...

This paper examines the evolution of legal personhood and explores whether historical precedents—from corporate personhood to environmental legal recognition—can inform frameworks for governing artificial intelligence (AI). By tracing the development of persona ficta in Roman law and subsequent expansions of...

The description of a combination of technologies as ‘artificial intelligence’ (AI) is misleading. To ascribe intelligence to a statistical model without human attribution points towards an attempt at shifting legal, social, and ethical responsibilities to machines. This paper exposes the...

Although computers and digital technologies have existed for many decades, their capabilities today have changed dramatically. Current buzzwords like Big Data, artificial intelligence, robotics, and blockchain are shorthand for further leaps in development. The digitalisation of communication, which is a...

As methods in legal information retrieval (IR) evolve to meet the demands of rapidly increasing stores of electronic information, there is the intuitive appeal of capturing detail in legal queries with natural language processing (NLP). One difficulty with this approach...

Since 2016, more than 80 AI ethics documents - including codes, principles, frameworks, and policy strategies - have been produced by corporations, governments, and NGOs. In this paper, we examine three topics of importance related to our ongoing empirical study...

Abstract Calls to hold artificial intelligence to account are intensifying. Activists and researchers alike warn of an “accountability gap” or even a “crisis of accountability” in AI. Meanwhile, several prominent scholars maintain that accountability holds the key to governing AI....
