FutureLaw 2018 is the sixth annual conference hosted by CodeX – the Stanford Center for Legal Informatics, focusing on how technology is transforming the legal profession and the law itself. The event brings together academics, entrepreneurs, lawyers, investors, policymakers, and engineers who are at the forefront of this tech-driven transformation.
Key topics covered include the fairness, accountability, and transparency of algorithms in legal services, the evolving landscape of legal tech startups, the application of artificial intelligence in "push" legal research, the role of blockchain beyond initial coin offerings as a legal technology, and the emergence of regulatory technology (RegTech) as a distinct industry.
The conference offers networking opportunities with legal tech innovators from around the world, providing a platform to connect and exchange ideas. Notable sessions feature experts such as Been Kim, a research scientist at Google Brain, discussing explainable AI in law, and Hilarie Bass delivering the opening keynote on breaking down silos between law, technology, and innovation.
FutureLaw 2018 is ideal for legal professionals, technologists, entrepreneurs, and policymakers interested in understanding and shaping the future of law through technology. Attendees will gain insights into cutting-edge developments and have the opportunity to engage with leaders driving innovation in the legal sector.
