====== The EXplainable AI in Law (XAILA) 2018 Workshop ====== **XAILA 2018 webpage [[http://xaila.geist.re]]** **Organized by:** Grzegorz J. Nalepa, Martin Atzmueller, Michał Araszkiewicz, Paulo Novais\\ at the [[http://jurix2018.ai.rug.nl/|31st international conference on Legal Knowledge and Information Systems]] December 12–14, 2018 in Groningen, The Netherlands ===== Abstract ===== Humanized AI emphasizes transparency and explainability in AI systems. These perspectives have an important ethical dimension, that is most often analyzed by philosophers. However, in order for it to be fruitful for AI engineers, it has to be properly focused. The intersection of Law and AI that makes it possible, as it provides a conceptual framework for ethical concepts and values in AI systems. A significant part of AI and Law research during the last two decades was devoted to operationalization of legal thinking with values. These results may now be reconsidered in a broader context, concerning the development of HAI systems and their social impact. It is a timely issue for the AI and Law community. ===== Motivation and workshop topics ===== Humanized AI (HAI) includes important perspectives in AI systems, including transparency and explainability (XAI). Another one is the affective computing paradigm. These perspectives have an important ethical dimension. While ethical discussion is conducted by many philosophers, in order for it to be fruitful for engineers in AI, it has to be properly focused with specific concepts and operationalized. We believe, that it is the intersection of Law and AI that makes such an endeavor possible. Together, this lays foundations and provides a conceptual framework for ethical concepts and values in AI systems. Therefore, when discussing ethical consequences and considerations of transparent and explainable AI systems, including affective systems, we should focus on the legal conceptual framework. A significant part of AI and Law research during the last two decades was devoted to operationalization of legal thinking with values. These results may now be reconsidered in a broader context, concerning the development of XAI systems and their social impact. As such it is a very timely issue for the AI and Law community. Our objective is to bring people from AI interested in XAI/HAI topics (possibly with broader background than just engineering) and create an ample space for discussion with people from the field of legal scholarship and/or legal practice. As many members of the AI and Law community join both perspectives, the JURIX conference should be assessed as perfect venue for the workshop. Together we would like to address some questions like: * non-functional design choices for explainable and transparent AI systems (including legal requirements) * legal requirements for AI systems in specific domains * legal consequences of black-box AI systems * legal criteria for explainable and transparent AI systems * possible applications of XAI systems in the area of legal policy deliberation, legal practice, teaching and research * ethical and legal implications of the use of AI systems in different spheres of societal life * relation of XAI and argumentation technologies * XAI models and architectures * understanding of the notions of explanation and transparency in XAI * risk-based approach to analysis of AI systems and the influence of XAI on risk assessment * incorporating ethical values into AI systems and the legal interpretation and consequences of this process * XAI, privacy and data protection * possible legal aspects and consequences of affective systems * legal requirements and risks in AI applications * XAI, certification and compliance ===== Program committee ===== Martin Atzmueller, Tilburg University, The Netherlands\\ Michal Araszkiewicz, Jagiellonian University, Poland\\ Kevin Ashley, University of Pittsburgh, USA\\ Szymon Bobek, AGH University, Poland\\ Jörg Cassens, University of Hildesheim, Germany\\ David Camacho, Universidad Autonoma de Madrid, Spain\\ Pompeu Casanovas, Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona, Spain\\ Colette Cuijpers, Tilburg University, The Netherlands\\ Rafał Michalczak, Jagiellonian University, Poland\\ Teresa Moreira, University of Minho Braga, Portugal\\ Paulo Novais, University of Minho Braga, Portugal\\ Grzegorz J.

At the same time the prominent AI technique of neural networks---today typically called deep learning---is often considered to lead to black box results, hindering transparency, explainability and responsibility, values that are central in the domain of law. So in that specific sense, the distance between neural network AI and the needs of the law is vast. In this talk, it is claimed that for good AI & Law we need an AI that can provide good answers to our questions, has good reasons for them and makes good choices. It is argued that the path towards good AI & Law requires the integration of data-driven and knowledge-based AI, and that argumentation as it occurs in the law can show the way to such integration.// Bio: //Prof. Bart Verheij holds the chair of artificial intelligence and argumentation at the University of Groningen. He is head of the department of Artificial Intelligence in the Bernoulli Institute of Mathematics, Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence, Faculty of Science and Engineering. He participates in the Multi-Agent Systems research program. His research focuses on artificial intelligence and argumentation, often with the law as application domain. He is currently working on the connections between knowledge, data and reasoning, as a contribution to explainable, responsible and social artificial intelligence.
