Professors Mireille Hildebrandt (VUB, Brussels) and Catherine Régis (Université de Montréal – Mila, Canada) will present some of the major current questions around Law and Artificial Intelligence. How to bring AI applications under the rule of law, and what fundamental rights assessments must be put in place? Does the GDPR set the right tone and how can AI development be aligned with individual rights and freedoms, including rights to non-discrimination, privacy, due process and the presumption of innocence? Mireille Hildebrandt will focus on the concepts of robust AI (in terms of reliability and resilience) and robust law (in terms of the rule of law), and discuss how robust AI could support the rule of law and vice versa. She will also give an overview of future developments in the legal regulation of AI, and explore the role of ethical guidelines and charters, through their formalization process and their potential for legal developments.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) leaders and experts in Enterprise Search and Knowledge Management solutions, RAVN Systems, is blending the world of tech and law with their latest AI endeavors: a self-service robot that promises big things for the legal industry. Through the use of a self-service AI portal, RAVN Systems' newest tech allows law firms to train an AI robot to perform any custom tasks necessary. The robot, known as RAVN Extract Direct, is a self-service version of the London company's older model RAVN Extract, which allowed users to use AI technology to automatically summarize, analyze, and extract key information from documents. The distinction of RAVN Extract Direct's self-service feature is integral, as it's what enables clients to be in complete control of the information obtained by the robot. RAVN's AI robot gives clients a more nuanced AI experience by allowing them to have complete control over the platform.
