Law and AI | Faculty of Law

Artificial intelligence is transforming the way law is practised, interpreted and implemented – raising profound questions for society and how we govern and regulate new technologies.

Oxford’s Faculty of Law brings together world-leading scholars and our talented community of students to explore these challenges, combining rigorous legal analysis with the latest insights from computer science, ethics and policy. Through our research and teaching – including innovative new courses for students and legal practitioners – we are shaping the future of law in the age of AI.
