Having a discussion with an artificial intelligence (AI) about ethical issues: is that possible? In our legal-informative cooperation project TargetJura, we are addressing this question and would like to enter into dialogue with an AI.

The PAcT project (Proving Accountability in Traffic), which is being conducted jointly with Prof. Matthias Althoff, Chair of Robotics, Artificial Intelligence and Real-Time Systems, and Prof. Tobias Nipkow, Chair of Logic and Verification in Computer Science, from the TU Munich, has been working on the question of the formalizability and programmability of legal rules since mid-2018.

In autumn 2020 the Forschungsstelle RobotRecht (Robotics Law Research Centre) turned 10 years old. With around a dozen employees, it works on numerous national and international projects at the interface between digitization, automation, AI and law.
