Hildebrandt to discuss AI in terms of women with Tatiana Löttiger (8 March 2021)
On International Women’s Day, Mireille Hildebrandt will do a live podcast with Tatiana Löttiger.

On Monday 15 February, Mireille Hildebrandt will give an informal talk at the Stokes Society (of Pembroke College of Cambridge University) where she will briefly introduce her views on ‘Robust AI and Robust Law’, explaining that the notion of ‘robust AI’ provides an interesting perspective on what it would mean to speak of ‘robust law’ and of ‘robust legal technologies’.
... »Hildebrandt to speak at ‘Law + Computation: An Algorithm for the Rule of Law and Justice?’ 5 Feb 2021
Computation is poised to transform legal services, legal systems, and the law itself. Making the most of innovation and technology, and understanding the benefits and risks, requires deep collaboration between computer scientists and legal professionals (lawyers, academics, etc.) This interdisciplinary symposium, co-organised by the Northwestern Law and Technology Initiative and the Northwestern Journal of Technology and Intellectual Property, brings together researchers working at the intersection of law and computation to explore the effects of computation on law.

On 19 January 2021, the Hilary Term AI4Law workshop series at Faculty of Law, University of Oxford will start with the workshop ‘Data-Driven Law on Edge?’ where Mireille Hildebrandt will give a talk followed by Q&A and discussion.

In the second video in COHUBICOL’s ‘interview with the author’ series, our researcher Emilie van den Hoven spoke to Sylvie Delacroix (@SylvieDelacroix) in the context of our 2020 Philosophers’ Seminar, held earlier in December. For the seminar we convened scholars from philosophy, computer science and law to foster a cross-disciplinary exploration of some of the most pertinent questions in relation to the use of AI in law. The focus of this year’s session was on the ‘interpretability problem’ in machine learning.
... »Hildebrandt publishes ‘A Philosophy of Technology for Computational Law’
This chapter confronts the foundational challenges posed to legal theory and legal philosophy by the surge of computational law. Two types of computational law are at stake. On the one hand we have artificial intelligence in the legal realm that will be addressed as data-driven law, and on the other hand we have the coding of self-executing contracts and regulation in the blockchain, as well as other types of automated decision making (ADM), addressed as code-driven law. Data-driven law raises problems due to its autonomic operations and the ensuing opacity of its reasoning. Code-driven law presents us with a conflation of regulation, execution and adjudication. Though such implications are very different, both types of computational law share assumptions based on the calculability and computability of legal practice and legal research.
