I had the privilege to get early access to these position papers while working in the production team with @DMerigoux. Excited that they are now out for everyone to read! :)

This special issue of the CRCL journal with 8 position papers is a beacon in the fog of war created by technological FOMO and the never-ending avalanche of announcements of "revolutionary" products.
Here's a thread on why you should read these papers 🧵

Excited that this is out - fresh thinking on computational law from across the disciplinary spectrum. Thanks to @mireillemoret, @laurencediver, @FrankPasquale, @DMerigoux, Katie Atkinson, Pauline McBride, Bert De Bisschop and the full @journalcrcl team!

Our paper dissecting AI hype in law by @sayashk, @PeterHndrsn and me is now officially published. journalcrcl.org/crcl/article…
Legal Tech is a well established industry and language models offer many avenues for improving existing products. But a robot lawyer isn't on the cards.
ALT Promises and pitfalls of artificialintelligence for legal applicationsSayash Kapoor∗, Peter Henderson∗∗, Arvind Narayanan∗∗∗AbstractIs AI set to redefine the legal profession? We argue that this claim is not supported by the current evidence.We dive into AI’s increasingly prevalent roles in three types of legal tasks: information processing, tasksinvolving creativity, reasoning, or judgment, and predictions about the future. We find that the ease ofevaluating legal applications varies greatly across legal tasks based on the ease of identifying correctanswers and the observability of information relevant to the task at hand. Tasks that would lead to themost significant changes to the legal professional are not only harder to evaluate; they are also most proneto overoptimism about AI capabilities. We make recommendations for better evaluation and deploymentof AI in legal contexts.
Thanking my co-editor in chief @FrankPasquale for his inspiring collaboration and the vigorous, keen and energetic editors of the journal Katie Atkinson, @lyria1, Gianmarco Gori, Fleur Johns, @MCBRIDEPAULINE, Denis Merigoux and Jat Singh, see journalcrcl.org/crcl/about/e…

This book should be read by whoever decide on the deployment of ‘AI’. We can speak of the ethics of AI, often assuming that it ‘has many benefits’, but we must first learn to identify the snake oil
Kirkus Reviews, which provides early book reviews to the publishing industry, has given AI Snake Oil a very positive "starred" review, which we're told is rare and kind of a big deal. Honored and grateful! kirkusreviews.com/book-revie…

The book will be a rare treat in the midst of all the hype and doom. It should start a genuine conversation based on an in-depth understanding of the limitations and affordances. Delighted also to be publishing your position paper in @journalcrcl tomorrow or Monday on AI and law!

Great piece by @DMerigoux and colleagues. Read if interested in HOW law is automated and consequent issues on the kinds of choices that are made, who makes them, and how accountability is maintained. @journalcrcl
Our article from 2022 about programming micro-choices in the French Housing Benefits is finally published !
With Marie Alauzen and Lilya Slimani, we examine how ambiguity in law is resolved by administration during computer programming.

How to mitigate from adversarial attacks of machine learning systems, both technically and legally ? In a recently published paper at @journalcrcl, Dario Henri Haux and Alfred Früh tell us all about it with many references to the state of the art. Go to journalcrcl.org/crcl/article… !
And here comes an important contribution to the vulnerabilities of legal technologies that deploy machine learning, check it out:

Recent article was published & replied, on the cusp of law and information theory, demonstrating zest in crossing disciplinary boundaries - the question is always how this contributes and what is the added value. Key questions that cannot be raised in mono-disciplinary settings

Today we published @demogramas article on Platforms as Law. A mind boggling exercise in speculative legal theory, check it out here 1/ journalcrcl.org/crcl/article…
In his response @demogramas finds that “In what follows I will argue that many of her criticisms stem from confusions — probably caused by our differing disciplinary back-grounds, the compressed form of the article and my limited capacity for clarity” 11/
If you are not yet deeply curious about the speculative lens offered by @demogramas and struck by the willingness to engage with a critical thinker across disciplinary boundaries, I wish you luck 12/12, see again journalcrcl.org/crcl/article…
