Imagine this: on your way to a conference, you trip on a broken sidewalk and decide to sue the municipality. Would you feel comfortable with an AI judge handling your case to expedite the process and deliver a faster verdict? Now, consider a criminal case – if you were the defendant, would you trust an AI judge with your fate? And when it comes to legal representation, would you prefer your lawyer to leverage AI to craft a better strategy, or should these roles remain solely human? These were just some of the thought-provoking questions explored at our latest roundtable event hosted by RISE Israel, where professionals from both the private and public sectors came together for an engaging and meaningful discussion.
As part of the #AIForward Initiative, in partnership with Google.org, we are dedicated to leveraging AI to tackle societal challenges. The legal system, in particular, holds immense potential for transformation through AI – streamlining decision-making, reducing case backlogs, and making legal services more accessible and affordable. At the core of the event were collaborative roundtable discussions, where participants examined the opportunities and challenges posed by AI in the justice system. Together, they brainstormed actionable solutions to ensure that AI applications in the legal sector uphold fairness, transparency, and equal access to justice.
This event marks the beginning of our journey to drive innovation in Legal-Tech and foster the integration of AI in Israel. Together, we’re working toward a future where the legal system is not only more efficient but also more inclusive and equitable for all.
