Welcome to the next episode of the Monday Bagel podcast

Pascal Pichonnaz is a guest of Michał Jackowski

Join us for an interview with Professor Pascal Pichonnaz – President of the European Law Institute and Lecturer in Law at the University of Freiburg.

In this episode, we focus on two topics combining law and artificial intelligence. The first is the so-called predictive justice. We explain how AI systems try to predict the outcome of court cases, why repeatability of rulings does not always mean accuracy, and the dangers that arise when the results of algorithms begin to resemble court rulings.

The second issue is algorithmic contracts. Professor Pichonnaz talks about the European Law Institute’s work on digital assistants that can enter into contracts on behalf of users. Among other things, we consider what this means for consumers’ freedom of choice, how to understand consent to such a contract, and how to reconcile such solutions with European law.

We encourage you to watch!
