摘要

将人工智能(AI)作为解决问题的源泉的热情并不新鲜。在法律领域,至少从20世纪80年代初到21世纪初,在发展“法律专家制度”方面做了大量工作。“作为DataLex项目,我们通过研究和出版,商业和非商业系统,以及教授学生应用程序开发,参与了这些开发。”本文首先简要介绍了这项工作,以确定我们的观点。本文的主要目的是评估从DataLex项目的经验到通过免费法律咨询服务在当代使用“人工智能和法律”的价值,这些服务必须在资金和其他限制下开发和维持此类系统。我们从这一经验中得出了15个结论,我们认为这些结论与发展免费法律咨询服务制度有关。我们认为,期望的结果是综合法律决策支持系统的发展,而不是“专家系统”或“机器人律师”。我们将我们的见解与该领域最近的主要文本的方法进行比较,并对该领域进行了超过25年的批判性审查。我们的结论是,DataLex项目采用的方法,现在应用于免费法律咨询服务,与人工智能和法律领域的领先工作保持一致。本文最后简要建议了最理想的工具和平台改进,以实现免费法律咨询系统的发展。免费提供法律信息服务的目标与免费提供法律咨询服务的目标有许多共同之处。免费法律服务提供者(包括法律机构)可以提供的信息资源往往是免费法律咨询服务需要用来发展和维持免费法律咨询系统的信息资源。因此,这两种类型的服务提供者之间有很大的潜力进行有价值的合作。

Building Sustainable Free Legal Advisory Systems: Experiences from the History of AI & Law
Abstract The enthusiasm for artificial intelligence (AI) as a source of solutions to problems is not new. In law, from the early 1980s until at least the early 2000s, considerable work was done on developing ‘legal expert systems.’ As the DataLex project, we participated in those developments, through research and publications, commercial and non-commercial systems, and teaching students application development. This paper commences with a brief account of that work to situate our perspective. The main aim of this paper is an assessment of what might be of value from the experience of the DataLex Project to contemporary use of ‘AI and law’ by free legal advice services, who must necessarily work within funding and other constraints in developing and sustaining such systems. We draw fifteen conclusions from this experience, which we consider are relevant to development of systems for free legal advice services. The desired result, we argue, is the development of integrated legal decision-support systems, not ‘expert systems’ or ‘robot lawyers’. We compare our insights with the approach of the leading recent text in the field, and with a critical review of the field over twenty-five years. We conclude that the approach taken by the DataLex Project, and now applied to free legal advice services, remains consistent with leading work in field of AI and law. The paper concludes with brief suggestions of what are the most desirable improvements to tools and platforms to enable development of free legal advice systems. The objectives of free access to legal information services have much in common with those of free legal advice services. The information resources that free access to law providers (including LIIs) can provide will often be those that free legal advice services will need to use to develop and sustain free legal advisory systems. There is therefore strong potential for valuable collaborations between these two types of services providers.
