Research Title: Artificial intelligence and conflict resolution: the new Solomon?
Research Description: Access to justice is often slow and expensive, leaving many people unable to afford it. Judicial decisions are time-consuming and can lead to excessive delays. The research aims to promote inclusive and responsible growth, enhance the quality of judicial decisions, and make justice more efficient and accessible to everyone. It involves analysing the most popular legal AI tools currently available, creating a benchmark of tests to determine their strengths and weaknesses in facilitating early dispute resolution and drafting judicial decisions.
