LAIL 2023: International Workshop on Logic, AI and Law
11th – 12th September 2023, Hangzhou, China


International Workshop on Logic, AI and Law (LAIL 2023) will be held on 11th-12th September 2023, at Guanghua Law School, Zhejiang University in Hangzhou, China. The workshop is associated with the national key project “Research on Logics for New Generation Artificial Intelligence” (2021-2025), and is also a satellite event of Zhejiang University Logic and AI Summit (ZJULogAI 2023) taking place this September. The aim of the workshop is to explore the landscape of logics for cutting-edge AI&Law. It intends to be an international forum to promote the understanding of how logic can help to automate legal reasoning of various types, to represent legal knowledge in a machine-readable and computable manner, to facilitate argumentation in different fields of law, to capture the dynamic and interactive feature of real-life legal practice, and finally, to bring together the knowledge system and data system of law in the new generation of AI.
