Panelists included professors from IIITH, NALSAR & IIT Kanpur, legal leaders from Samvad Partners, his OpenNyAI & CDPP from policy and community groups, his subtl.ai from startups. Discussions covered problems, solutions, constraints, and technical challenges.
The panel identified use cases for AI in legal research, document and content discovery processes, and contract creation and review activities. AI and NLP play an important role in building keyword search and language processing tools that understand the content and meaning of contract language.
Professor Srikrishna Deva Rao, Vice Chancellor of NALSAR University, emphasized the importance of academic exchanges between IIITH Hyderabad and NALSAR should lead to academic/research cooperation in educating lawyers and engineers together.
