Stanford's FutureLaw Conference Explores AI as Infrastructure in Legal Systems
Stanford Law School hosted its thirteenth annual FutureLaw conference, focusing on the evolving role of artificial intelligence (AI) as infrastructure rather than just software. The conference, part of Stanford's CodeX initiative, brought together leaders from law, technology, policy, and academia to discuss AI's integration into legal systems and its broader societal impact. Participants examined AI's dual decision-making models—rule-based and probabilistic—and their implications for legal reasoning and accountability. The event highlighted the need for interdisciplinary oversight in AI development to ensure fairness, transparency, and equitable access to justice.
