Presentation
The increasing use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the justice system means that legal professionals must understand its potential benefits and risks.

This practical course is aimed at magistrates, lawyers, jurists and other legal professionals who want to learn how to use AI responsibly, while maximising its potential and upholding the fundamental principles of justice, transparency and impartiality.
