*Title* Legal Institutions in the Age of AI: Opportunities, Risks, and Pathways Forward
*Abstract * Legal institutions interact with AI in new and surprising ways. While the technology promises to improve access to justice, the reliance on language models and other predictive tools could systematically alter legal processes and re-shape the development of legal rules and values. Meanwhile, broader risks from AI technology, including concerns relating to misuse and deployment in sensitive settings, pose novel challenges for regulators. Legal institutions will need to develop mechanisms for rapidly adapting to sociotechnical change while maintaining robust and verifiable democratic accountability. Experimentation in designing regulations for AI could, if conducted thoughtfully, foster broader legal innovation and pave the way for new approaches to building regulatory infrastructure.
*Bio * Noam Kolt is a final-year doctoral candidate at the University of Toronto Faculty of Law. His research focuses on the role of AI in the legal system, the regulation of AI, and anticipatory governance across diverse regulatory contexts. Noam’s research is informed by a range of perspectives and skills, including experience as a research advisor to Google DeepMind and as a member of OpenAI’s GPT-4 red team. Previously, Noam practiced international law and corporate law, and held fellowships at the University of Toronto’s Centre for Ethics and Schwartz Reisman Institute for Technology and Society. Noam’s legal scholarship has been published in the Berkeley Technology Law Journal, Yale Law & Policy Review, Washington University Law Review, International Journal of Constitutional Law, and Melbourne University Law Review.
