Presentation on the research behind JusticeBot

In this webinar, Hannes presents the research behind JusticeBot, and the upcoming JusticeBot challenge. Check it out!
JusticeBot is a computer software tool using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to simplify access to legal information for the public. The tool asks people a number of questions about their dispute and shows them information about similar previous cases, enabling them to gain a better understanding of their situation. Currently, development is focused on conflicts between landlords and tenants, but the methodology and tools will be useable in many legal domains.
People can have trouble dealing with everyday legal issues. The process is often complex and frustrating as the law is complicated and it is difficult to navigate the unfamiliar court system. JusticeBot will support people involved in legal disputes to better understand their situation, based on analyzed previous court decisions.
JusticeBot is an important step in investigating the use of artificial intelligence in the legal domain. The methodology, skills and best-practices developed in the JusticeBot project will in the future be applicable not only to landlord-tenant disputes, but also to other areas of law, thereby improving the general public access to law and justice.
Answer a few questions about your legal issue from your computer or smartphone, using a user-friendly interface available 24/7.
Our algorithm analyses your answers and gives you information by comparing your situation to previous legal cases.
Hopefully, the information gained from JusticeBot will help you to settle or proceed with the case.
