    OVERVIEW

    New technologies are significantly changing the human epistemic strategies. Increasingly frequent is the use of IT filters to manage the information overload. Words such Algorithms, Artificial Intelligence and Big Data are commonly used. This course aims to analyze the possible impact of new technologies (and Artificial Intelligence in particular) on civil procedure and the role of lawyers.

    AIMS AND CONTENT

    LEARNING OUTCOMES

    Analysis of the basic concepts of Artificial Intelligence, machine learning and predictive algorithms and their possible applications on civil procedure. Related implications for legal ethics.
