LegalAIIA Workshop To Explore Artificial Intelligence and Intelligent Assistance H5

The First International Workshop on AI and Intelligent Assistance for Legal Professionals in the Digital Workplace (LegalAIIA) will be held at the Cyberjustice Laboratory at the University of Montreal on June 17th. This workshop is part of the 17th International Conference on AI and Law (ICAIL), a biennial conference which has served as an important forum at the intersection the AI and the law since its founding in 1987. The LegalAIIA workshop itself is an offshoot of the successful decade-long DESI (Discovery for Electronically Stored Informed) workshop series, which was pivotal in helping forge an interdisciplinary community of legal and technical practitioners working on advancing the state-of-the-art in electronic discovery practice. The first edition of Legal AIIA, driven by an impressive set of electronic discovery veterans including Jack G. Conrad (Thomson Reuters), Jeremy Pickens (Catalyst Repository Systems), Amanda Jones (H5), Hans Henseler (Magnet Forensics), and Jason R. Baron (Drinker, Biddle & Reath), aims to tackle head on the issue of human-AI collaboration. Accepted papers will focus on evaluating when and how to best leverage a "human-in-the-loop" approach to AI.
