The International Academy of Comparative Law - AIDC-IACL in Paris appointed the authors of the General Report for the next General Congress, which will be held in Berlin in 2026.
In the field of civil proceedings, the topic: Artificial Intelligence in civil proceedings proposed by Prof. Sławomir Cieślak from the Department of Civil Proceedings 1 at the University of Lodz was selected. Professor Cieślak will prepare a report together with scientists from other institutions invited to cooperate, i.e. together with Prof. Michele Angelo Lupoi from the University of Bologna (Italy) and Prof. Andrzej Olaś from the Jagiellonian University in Kraków. The general report will be prepared on the basis of detailed reports developed by scientists invited from individual countries. After the General Congress in Berlin, the general report and national reports are planned to be published.
Why is it so important?
The rapid development of artificial intelligence in recent years has presented lawyers with new challenges. What opportunities does AI offer in court proceedings? What threats does it pose? Experts from around the world will try to answer these and many other questions. The report, which will be produced under the chairmanship of Professor Cieślak, will be an important point of reference for legislators and legal practitioners around the world.
What next?
After the Congress in Berlin, the team's work will be published in a comprehensive report that will be available to all those who are interested. This means that the latest research on the use of artificial intelligence in civil proceedings will be available to lawyers, judges, and the general public.
