Andrej Krištofík delves into the relationship between language in law and the automation of legal decision-making processes. Maria Bartolomei and Antonia Cava examine the impact of the legal concept of vulnerability on migration processes and how situations of vulnerability are sometimes accentuated by the spread of social media. Ifeoma Nwafor explores three countries providing key recommendations that offer an opportunity for African countries to be innovative leaders in AI governance by developing more robust policies. Nwafor notes that bias, particularly gender bias, is common in artificial intelligence (AI) systems, leading to harmful impacts that reinforce existing negative gender stereotypes and prejudices. Will Cesta explores the regulation of judicial analytics proposing a case for ensuring that work embraces consistent terminology, uses empirical methods to address the epistemic problems identified and develops a robust theory of regulatory success.
The rise of Large Language Models (LLMs) in the field of generative AI and the practice of designing inputs (prompts) to drive optimal outputs for these models are transforming legal practice. Brydon Wang examines the legal status of these prompts that are used to generate contractual clauses and the potential of prompts to be used for interpreting ambiguous contractual terms. Harry Jobberns and Michael Guihot reveal the extent to which computer automated decision-making processes in government are being legislatively adopted, providing an overview of the risks associated with such incorporation and analyses the limited extent to which the parliament has considered these associated risks.
And finally, Chimnomso Elsie Ihedioha reviews Judges, Technology and Artificial Intelligence: The Artificial Judge by Tania Sourdin.
