Ensuring fair and efficient access to justice is a cornerstone of a functioning society, yet the legal system in Israel faces significant challenges, including inefficiencies, high costs, and lengthy procedures that limit accessibility for many citizens. This project explores how AI can transform the legal sector by optimizing workflows, supporting judicial decision-making, and making legal services more affordable and equitable.
Our research focuses on actionable strategies for integrating AI technologies into the justice system. By addressing systemic barriers, we aim to reduce case backlogs, streamline decision-making, and ensure broader access to justice for all citizens. As part of this initiative, we host roundtable discussions and consult with leaders from the private and public sectors to ensure our solutions are both innovative and practical. These dialogues provide critical insights into how AI can revolutionize the legal system, improving efficiency and promoting equity within the justice framework.
This project is part of the “AI Forward” initiative by RISE Israel, supported by Google.org. The initiative focuses on developing and implementing AI policies and regulations that benefit both society and the economy in Israel, targeting five key sectors with the greatest potential to impact the lives of Israeli citizens. RISE Israel Institute is a grantee of Google.org’s Digital Futures Project, which supports leading think tanks and academic institutions worldwide in advancing dialogue and research on the responsible integration of AI.
