Law in Silico: Simulating Legal Society with LLM-Based Agents

Wang, Yiding, Chen, Yuxuan, Meng, Fanxu, Chen, Xifan, Yang, Xiaolei, Zhang, Muhan

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Since real-world legal experiments are often costly or infeasible, simulating legal societies with Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems provides an effective alternative for verifying and developing legal theory, as well as supporting legal administration. Large Language Models (LLMs), with their world knowledge and role-playing capabilities, are strong candidates to serve as the foundation for legal society simulation. However, the application of LLMs to simulate legal systems remains underexplored. In this work, we introduce Law in Silico, an LLM-based agent framework for simulating legal scenarios with individual decision-making and institutional mechanisms of legislation, adjudication, and enforcement. Our experiments, which compare simulated crime rates with real-world data, demonstrate that LLM-based agents can largely reproduce macro-level crime trends and provide insights that align with real-world observations. At the same time, micro-level simulations reveal that a well-functioning, transparent, and adaptive legal system offers better protection of the rights of vulnerable individuals.


Deepfake Star Wars Videos Portent Ways The Technology Could Be Employed For Good And Bad

#artificialintelligence

This isn't the first time that we must question whether "seeing" is in fact "believing" Earlier this week the YouTube channel Shamook highlighted the latest Deepfake technology in which scenes involving two notable characters in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story were greatly enhanced. This was the latest such use of Deepfakes in pop culture. What was impressive about this most recent use of the technology is that it made the character of Governor Tarkin seem more lifelike and more closely resembled Peter Cushing, the late actor who played the role originally in the 1977 film Star Wars. The same technology was previously employed earlier this year on the YouTube channel to "de-age" Robert De Niro and the results were far than what was actually seen in the Netflix original film The Irishman. Both of the "original" versions seem far more cartoony and fall into that "uncanny valley" of not being quite real.


A Record Number of Robots Were Employed in 2018--Here's What They Do and Where

#artificialintelligence

China and the U.S. are the top two countries for robot demand. It's true that more robots than ever are participating in the human labor force. Last year, businesses worldwide spent $26 billion employing some 70 million robots on manufacturing and service jobs, according to the World Robotics Report published by the International Federation of Robotics (IFR) on Wednesday. On the industrial side, 422,000 robots were shipped last year, a 6% increase from 2017. More than half of the robots were bought by automotive and electronics companies, which came as a surprise amid the tough market conditions facing these industries in 2018.


3 Rules: Insights Into How To Get Your Side Hustle Game Right While Still Employed - MMIMMC

#artificialintelligence

All the same, it's one thing employers love to hate. Whenever an employer hires a worker, the understanding is that they have offered a fair wage for what you have to offer. Therefore, any time spent outside work should be for recuperating (recreation and sleep) from the busy day. That has been the thinking: "Eight hours labour, eight hours recreation, eight hours rest." It might have worked in the early 20th century, during the industrial revolution, but a rethink for the demands of the 21st century is long due.

Understanding Childhood Vulnerability in The City of Surrey

Griffith, Cody, Mathur, Varoon, Lin, Catherine, Zhu, Kevin

arXiv.org Machine Learning

Understanding the community conditions that best support universal access and improved childhood outcomes allows ultimately to improve decision-making in the areas of planning and investment across the early stages of childhood development. Here we describe two different data-driven approaches to visualizing the lived experiences of children throughout the City of Surrey, combining data derived from both public and private sources. In one approach, we find specifically that the Early Development Instrument measuring childhood vulnerabilities across varying domains can be used to cluster neighborhoods, and that census variables can help explain similarities between neighborhoods within these clusters. In our second approach, we use program registration data from the City of Surrey's Community and Recreation Services Division. We also find a critical age of entry and exit for each program related to early childhood development and beyond, and find that certain neighborhoods and recreational programs have larger retention rates than others. This report details the journey of using data to tell the story of these neighborhoods, and provides a lens to which community initiatives can be strategically crafted through their use.


Anyone Employed as a Driver Today will be able to Retire as a Driver

Forbes - Tech

Mike Reid, the Chief Operating Officer at Embark Trucks, said that "Anyone employed as a driver today will be able to retire as a driver." What makes that statement surprising is that Embark is a leading developer of autonomous trucks. One might think that the goal of an autonomous truck company is to render drivers superfluous. The American Trucking Association estimates that there are approximately 3.5 million professional truck drivers in the United States. Mr. Reid made the statement eft's 3PL and Supply Chain Summit on June 7th.


Move on Android, Google has a 'new focus' Gadgets Now

#artificialintelligence

Mobile phone apps took center stage at Google's annual developer conference on Wednesday as the search giant announced new features for its digital assistant and its popular photo app while devoting little time to the Android mobile operating system. Addressing an audience of thousands of developers in Mountain View, California, Google executives delivered a broad-based update to their product portfolio which also included a slate of new features for the Google Home speaker, a job search tool and even a set of new virtual reality headsets. Meet Google's first 19 employees Meet Google's first 19 employees Only six of Google's earliest employees still work at the internet giant -- and these include co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin. Some early Google employees have gone on to become entrepreneurs, others angel investors, and a lucky few have gone on to become top executives at other tech companies. A few are happily retired. In 2015, a Quora user compiled a list of all the original Googlers and where there careers have taken them. Of the first 21 employees, only six are still at the company.


First Robot Lawyer Gets Employed

#artificialintelligence

And if you must also know, my firm is also contemplating hiring one of such robots too, just that we won't be naming it Ross,but Kunle. Anyway it's still a rumour .But for goodness sake, organisations don't get people employed because they want to reduce unemployment, they get people employed because they need to get some work done. That's their concern, and so it really doesn't matter to them whether it's a real or artificial person that gets the job done. All they want is for the job to be done. And if a robot can do the job more than a human, heck, they would be hiring the damn robot without batting an eye.
