The emergence of Artificial Intelligence and other modern technologies changes the way we interact with the world.
Big data promises to radically expand our cognitive reach, allowing us to collect and process data and thus to generate knowledge on a scale we have never done before. This creates, according to a commonly held belief, an abundance of opportunities for furthering human agency such as more efficient policing, better protection of the environment, or a more targeted delivery of state services. It also, however, challenges a set of commonly held values of our legal orders. As we introduce automation into them, some of the values we hold dear may forever be transformed or even eroded.
This is why, in our workshop, by embarking on an interdisciplinary research endeavor, we want to assess how our legal societies can reap the benefits of modern technologies while still maintaining human self-determination. We do so by exploring challenges for legal concepts which are typically regarded as emanations of human self-determination, such as data protection, the transparency and explainability of legal decisions or the connectedness of legal processes to human communication
This exploration is clustered into three thematic sessions the diversity of which reflects both the fundamental ambivalence and discipline-transcending impact of technological progress. In a first session, scholars from the legal and philosophical disciplines will analyze how such technological innovations could pose a challenge for human self-determination. In a second session, computer scientists will presenting some of the technological innovations which could transform our field. The third session forms the synthesis of the first two. In it, we will discuss specific projects which aim at reaping AI’s promise while at the same time reigning in its peril.
