Professors Develop AI Lawyer Bot to Demystify Legal Codes
-
Professors are developing an "AI lawbot" that can parse complex legal codes and provide plain language answers to users' legal questions.
-
The lawbot uses large language models to understand questions and formal verification methods to ensure accurate answers.
-
It could help democratize the legal system by making reliable legal advice more accessible.
-
The professors are also exploring issues of accountability for AI systems like autonomous vehicles.
-
They have a tool called "soid" that can metaphorically "put an algorithm on the stand" and rigorously interrogate how it makes decisions.
