Future Frontiers for Research in Law and AI
Cullen O'Keefe, Matthijs Maas, Janna Tay
Abstract
LawAI’s Legal Frontiers team aims to incubate new law and policy proposals that are anticipatory, actionable, accommodating to a wide variety of worldviews and technological trajectories, and ambitious. This post sets out eight “Future Frontiers” that are already ripe for scholarly attention: regulating government-developed frontier AI; accelerating technologies that defend against risks from AI; regulating internal deployment; fostering legal resilience by rapidly patching legal loopholes; responsibly advancing AI-enabled governance; responsibly automating legal processes; accelerating legal technologies that empower citizens; and approval regulation in a decentralized world.
