Law must be a part of computer science curricula Agreed, @mireillemoret! Excellent @CACMmag piece! So much important CS+Law work to be done! We're onboard at @NorthwesternU w interdisciplinary CS+Law courses in both @NorthwesternEng & @NorthwesternLaw! https://t.co/F7yzSoAtXH

Group members include @vssubrah, @DanLinna, @jeremygilbert, Valerio La Gatta, Marco Postiglione, and more. Learn more about SMART:

We are underinvesting in areas where research suggests AI could be good enough, right now, to make an impact Controlled studies find that current LLMs can be very useful in medicine & education, especially in disadvantaged areas, but more work is needed to deliver on the promise

Law as engineering needed in the future

Want a glimpse of how NCAA Enforcement really works? Chris Partridge was fired by Michigan without an opportunity to say anything in his defense, and his name was ruthlessly dragged through the mud. The real basis for Chris’s termination was Michigan’s reliance on the 🧵

The highlighted statements in today’s COI are patently false. There were no communications with me from the NCAA enforcement staff about trying to collect cell phone images, about a deadline, or about interviewing Coach Harbaugh. I received no emails or other correspondence 🧵

University of Michigan claps back at NCAA, will appeal sign-stealing punishment

What are the risks and benefits of using AI in courts? Last week, @NorthwesternLaw's @DanLinna and @northwesterneng / @BuffettInst's @vssubrah gathered a group of judges, court administrators, & law practitioners to investigate.

We welcomed three leaders from @AdobeResearch to @NorthwesternU's Evanston campus on June 10 and 11 to discuss potential research collaborations and engagement with faculty and students.

Again? A guarantee not to lose, again? Everyone in Ohio knows that their national championship has a big asterisk: * Dominated at home by Michigan, again

The University has launched the Northwestern Network for Collaborative Intelligence, an initiative dedicated to empowering the use of data science and AI. Profs. Abel Kho and @vssubrah have been appointed as the founding co-directors of the network: https://t.co/X0ZHKwlu3t

@HoffProf The introduction of legal technology tools has exposed that law practice is not evidence based and is lacking in quality. For example, lawyers resisted technology assisted review for eDiscovery because "TAR made errors," but TAR prevailed because human review of documents is

We ended #ICAIL2025 Day 2 with a conference dinner at Beatrix honoring the late Dr. Trevor Bench-Capon and Dr. Karl Branting for their incredible contributions and mentorship in the LegalTech space and celebrating the recipients of the conference awards. Now off to day 3!

Is AI reasoning? Professor Daniel Katz (first author of “GPT-4 Passes the Bar Exam”) argued at #ICAIL2025 that the capabilities of AI models evoke philosophical questions like: “What constitutes reasoning?” Instead, we should consider whether the tool is actually useful.

We kicked off #ICAIL2025 Day 2 with incredible panels discussing “AI Law and Ethics,” and “Enhancing LLMs’ accuracy for legal text classification.” We have a day full of panels & speakers from our sponsors (thank you @ThomsonReuters, @LexisNexis, @Jusbrasil, @LegalMation) ahead!

Wrapped up Workshop Day 1 of #ICAIL2025 yesterday with an excellent workshop led by @SanoScience, called “Implementing Intelligence: Legal Challenges in Creating AI Solutions,” where we explored data privacy challenges. Check out https://t.co/ZXMUHpweFh to follow along!

Northwestern has launched an institutional network to empower University-wide use of data science and AI. @NorthwesternEng and IPR's V.S. Subrahmanian will serve as founding co-director. Read more about the initiative:

@OrinKerr For many AI tools, the barrier to entry is low and I expect that mostly everyone will use them in the near future. Other AI opportunities require infrastructure and training. I'm seeing this in the law firms. If you have invested in knowledge management, data governance, process

Deepfakes are getting harder to spot — but not impossible. Professor @vssubrah shares five tips to help you stay ahead of AI deception. https://t.co/iQBtByJ7AC

@david__simon @Judge_Leben @OrinKerr If we are worried that using AI to critique our own scholarly work replaces the author with AI, why don't we have the same concern with workingshopping papers at junior scholars conference? By this line of argument, don't both risk outsourcing the author's work to AI and other
