NWO fund for ‘Am AI Right?’
A research project of the Faculty of Law was awarded funding from the Dutch Research Council (Dutch: Nederlandse Organisatie voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek/NWO). ‘Am AI Right?’, a research project created by an interdisciplinary team of researchers of the Law and Tech Lab and the Brightlands Institute for Smart Society (BISS), aims to revolutionize access to legal expertise.
The research combines AI technology and qualitative research methods to enhance individuals’ knowledge and understanding of the law. Many people encounter legal issues, which, when unresolved, can cause problems. Access to legal information can empower individuals, yet individuals often need to assume self-representation roles in a potential or actual legal dispute.
‘Am AI Right?’ seeks to discover how laypeople formulate queries when seeking legal information, how different types of queries affect the quality of relevant legal rules retrieved by AI, and how AI can be trained to provide legally valid information in a way understandable to different target audiences.
