Nihil est enim simul et inventum et perfectum. Intelligenza artificiale nel diritto tra prospettive attuali e sperimentazioni romanistiche

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into the field of law has emerged as a pivotal topic within contemporary legal discourse, both in theoretical frame-works and practical applications. While the debate surrounding this intersection began several decades ago, and arguably even centuries prior, this paper provides a brief overview of the ongoing dialogue. Specifically, it offers an account of the conference titled Automa-tisierung von juristischen Entscheidungen: Die künstliche Intelligenz am Beispiel der rö-mischrechtlichen Kasuistik, held at the Universität Bern in March 2024. This event served as a significant landmark in advancing discussions around AI and its implications in the le-gal sphere. Bringing together scholars and practitioners, from different countries and fields of law, the two-day symposium provided a platform to explore various facets of AI imple-mentation. Notably, it featured the unveiling of AILexA, an innovative application of AI designed for the Digest of Justinian (title D. 9.2). The conference facilitated discussions on predictive justice, the integration of technology into state public administration, insights from legal practice, and the exploration of new avenues for research in Roman law.
