DESCRIPTION:Join us for an AI and the Law talk with Hannes Westermann\, who
  will examine the application of Artificial Intelligence to the legal sect
 or.\n\nAbstract\n\nArtificial Intelligence (AI) is being hailed as one of 
 the biggest inventions of the 21st century. It is likely to have a profoun
 d impact on many areas of society. Already\, AI is being used in many diff
 erent fields\, from playing complex board or computer games at superhuman 
 levels\, to customer specific marketing automation\, to performing tasks p
 reviously reserved for humans\, such as driving cars. AI allows computer p
 rograms to find and analyze patterns and correlations in huge amounts of d
 ata and use the results for the prediction of certain future events. This 
 talk will focus on how these capabilities of Artificial Intelligence can b
 e used within the complex area of legal practice.\n\nThis talk will also d
 escribe and demonstrate which elements and capabilities of AI can be used\
 , and are already being used\, in the field of law. This leads to consider
 ations like: Will lawyers be replaced by computers? This talk will also be
  about some findings of our JusticeBot project\, which aims to improve acc
 ess to justice in landlord-tenant disputes using AI and discuss some of th
 e challenges that we are facing.\n\nAbout the speaker:\n\nHannes Westerman
 n is a PhD student in Artificial Intelligence and Law at the Université de
  Montréal. He works at the Cyberjustice Laboratory and is in charge of the
  JusticeBot project\, which aims to enable greater access to justice throu

 his research at the “International Conference on Artificial Intelligence a
 nd Law (ICAIL) 2019” in Montréal\, and his latest paper has been accepted

 rmation Systems (JURIX 2019)” in Madrid.\n\n \n\nHannes graduated in 2018 
 from Lund University in Sweden with a Master of Laws\, focusing on Privacy
  and Big Data. He spent an exchange year at the Faculty of law at 91˿����Ƶ U
