Artificial intelligence might seem rather unrelated to law and legal institutions. However, this is definitely not the case! The intersection of the two is precisely what interests Mike. So, how can the law be adapted by AI research? Have a look at his video!

Quite fascinatingly, Mike's project for ICA4 explores how data-driven artificial intelligence techniques can be used to construct models of legal and moral reasoning that can address important outstanding questions in systems design.
