Cutting through the noise: Using Futures Literacy to enable human agency We are excited to announce that Dr Anita Lamprecht. Anita Lamprecht, Ambassador of the LLI, will join us to share insights in our Student Chapter Roundtable this Thursday at 5:30pm into her latest project with the DiploFoundation: Futures Literacy and her course “Building the Future We Need.” Our world is navigating unprecedented uncertainty, with rapid technological advancements, shifting societal values, and global challenges converging. Amidst the noise of hype and skepticism surrounding the metaverse, AI, and virtual worlds, it’s crucial to cut through the clutter and focus on what truly matters: enabling human agency. This is especially important as the United Nations General Assembly will outline the Pact for the Future this September. Futures literacy enables us to navigate this complexity. By analyzing the narratives around these technologies, we can make sense of potential future scenarios and empower individuals, organizations, and societies to shape their destinies. Dr. Lamprecht will share how to apply futures literacy to the legal and governance spheres. By understanding the hype and the skepticism, we can: - Identify opportunities where these technologies can create a positive impact. - Anticipate potential challenges and develop proactive strategies. - Shape policies and regulations that foster innovation while protecting societal values. Join us to learn how to harness the power of futures literacy to build a future where technology serves humanity. #futuresliteracy #metaverse #AI #virtualworlds #law #governance #futureofwork

We invite the community to share their insights on the intersection of #copyright and #AI. AI, particularly Machine Learning systems, requires extensive data for training. The more versatile the model, the more data it typically needs.   Generative AI (#GenAI), including large language models (LLMs), as well as those generating sound or images, highlight this issue. There's even debate about whether sufficient data remains for training these models, potentially hindering their future development.   So, what data is permissible for use? Does copyright law restrict model training? The answer varies by jurisdiction and is complex. To better understand this, the Liquid Legal Institute, in partnership with University of Twente and fingolex, is hosting a workshop under the LAW4OSAI sub-project of the EU Horizon-funded OpenWebSearch.EU project. We're seeking individuals interested in the intersection of copyright and AI to collaborate.   As legal professionals, we are uniquely positioned to provide guidance. Do you have insights to share or want to contribute? Join us! https://lnkd.in/evS5Tn5e Note we need to add the funding disclaimer: The project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 101070014 OpenWebSearch.EU project within its Cascading Funding.

Good design focuses on essentials and empowers users. Legal Design, by integrating user-centric and business principles such as design thinking and effective design with legal frameworks, aims to develop user-friendly and efficient solutions. This approach benefits everyone involved in justice, including administrators and citizens, by making legal processes more understandable and accessible.   Legal Operations, on the other hand, enhances the delivery of legal services through strategic business processes and technical expertise. By improving strategic planning, financial management, project management, and technology skills, Legal Operations enable legal professionals to focus more on providing valuable legal advice.   The Future of Justice Operations: Looking ahead, the future of Justice Operations lies in integrating these systematic business practices and user-centric approaches. This integration will centralize knowledge, enhance information governance, and cultivate an inclusive knowledge-sharing culture within the justice system.    By focusing on user-centric design and business principles, we can create a more efficient, transparent, and accessible justice system.    For more information about the Justice Operations Roundtable: https://lnkd.in/eAspkMym   Astrid Kohlmeier EDVGT - Forum für digitale Innovation

Meet Discovery AI! 🏆 Overall 3rd place of the LLM x Law Hackathon Members: Zaver D., Noella Spitz, Jean Zwerger, Krish Iyengar 👀 Discovery AI helps SMEs resolve smaller disputes, like non-payment, that often go unsolved. SMEs upload their case data (audio, video, pdf, images) to the platform. Discovery AI analyses the evidence, assessing case strengths and weaknesses, and organises it by relevance. A chat feature allows SMEs to query any evidence, helping them decide if pursuing the case is worthwhile and providing a lawyer cost estimate. If they proceed, they connect to a lawyer, who receives the analysed evidence. Discovery AI bridges the gap between SMEs and lawyers, helping recover significant losses from legal issues. The hackathon was organised by King's Entrepreneurship Lab in collaboration with CodeX, The Stanford Center for Legal Informatics and Liquid Legal Institute e.V. #hackthelaw #hackathon #winners #DiscoveryAI #kingselab #legaltech

“GenAI will change the nature of what it means to be a lawyer!” “Ironically, mashines will urge us to look closely at questions of humanity” – Mark A. Cohen At the Liquid Legal Summit last week Mark A. Cohen made a plea for more optimism regarding the AI revolution, encouraging the attending entrepreneurs within the legal field to step up to the challenges ahead. After this opening interview, the entire event split into various panels and lively discussions on a wide range of topics related to generative AI in the legal field. Participants of the first ever Liquid Legal Summit were able to get inspired and gather knowledge on a variety of topics related to legal tech. While the human-centered leadership panel brought forth a fruitful debate, including the entire audience, Dr. Juergen Erbeldinger offered a quick overview on how AI actually works before having a friendly argument on how to seize its opportunities with Kai Jacob, Bernhard Waltl and Sybren Raaijmakers. These were just two of many interesting subjects of spirited debate. In between panels, there was time to make new contacts and exchange thoughts over some lunch, fruits, coffee or cake at the Kameha Grand Bonn's impressive event space. The entire LLI team is very thankful to all panellists, Studio ZX | ZEIT Verlagsgruppe and each and every guest who joined us, for making this very first Liquid Legal Summit a success, waiting to be repeated!
