ExAile is a collaboration with Aleksander Smywiński-Pohl from the AGH University of Science and Technology in Krakow. During the project we are investigating how to use court decisions as examples for legal guidance.

The LegAi Assistant Project

I am harnessing the novel ethical technology developed by Enidia AI to create, in collaboration with the university of Luxembourg, pro-bono legal chatbots in various legal domains, with the goal of helping the public in Luxembourg and beyond have better access to justice. A GDPR pro-bono ethical legal chatbot is available
