There’s no turning back. Artificial intelligence has spread from cyberspace to the public space and now affects our court system. Can tomorrow’s legal minds make order out of this tempest of change?
That’s what eight students from Sapir Academic College Law School tried to discover last week at the University of Padova in Italy.
The group was selected to take part in a special winter school program on the interface between law and artificial intelligence. Participants heard lectures in fields ranging from economics and computer science to law, psychology, and criminology while building professional contacts with academics and future colleagues in the legal profession from around the world. They were accompanied by Prof. Orna Alyagon and Prof. Joseph David of the Law School. The initiative is sponsored by Erasmus+, the European Union Program for Education, Training, Youth and Sport.
