+**Professor Dr. Philipp Hacker**, LL.M. (Yale), holds the Chair for Law and Ethics of the Digital Society at European University Viadrina in Frankfurt (Oder). He serves jointly at the Faculty of Law and at the European New School of Digital Studies (ENS). Before joining Viadrina, he was an AXA Postdoctoral Fellow at the Faculty of Law at Humboldt University of Berlin. Previous research stays include a Max Weber Fellowship at the European University Institute and an A.SK Fellowship at the WZB Berlin Social Science Center. His research focuses on law and technology as well as (behavioral) law and economics. In 2020, he received the Science Award of the German Foundation for Law and Computer Science. His most recent books include Regulating Blockchain. Techno-Social and Legal Challenges (Oxford University Press, 2019, co-edited with Ioannis Lianos, Georgios Dimitropoulos and Stefan Eich); Theories of Choice. The Social Science and the Law of Decision Making (Oxford University Press, forthcoming, co-edited with Stefan Grundmann); and Datenprivatrecht [Private Data Law] (Mohr Siebeck, 2020).
+**Title of the talk** AI and Discrimination: Legal Challenges and Technical Strategies
+**Abstract**
+The talk will focus on the interaction between AI models and liability in the domain of non-discrimination. As is well-known, the output of AI models may exhibit bias toward legally protected groups. In the past, various fairness definitions have been developed to mitigate such discrimination. Against this background, the talk will first present a new model which allows AI developers to flexibly interpolate between different fairness definitions depending on the context of the model application. In the second step, however, the talk will inquire to what extent AI developers may risk liability under affirmative action doctrines if they seek to implement algorithmic fairness measures in their models.

+**Title** Legal information systems in production
+**Abstract**
+LexIQ is a Dutch legal tech startup using data science for legal information services. We have the vision that legal tech can serve citizens, governments and businesses, for instance by improved access to justice, efficient use of resources and enhanced compliance. This talk will address what we have learned in the past 4 years. What can be achieved with modern software and algorithms? How can we make innovative technologies available for legal professionals and even the wider public? Which challenges are we encountering?
+==== Call for Papers ====
+{{ :xaila:xaila2020cfp1.pdf |}}
+==== Motivation for the workshop ====
+In the last several years we have observed a growing interest in advanced AI systems achieving impressive task performance. However, there has also been an increased awareness of their complexity and challenging consequences of their possibly limited understandability to humans. In response, a number of research directions have been initiated. These include humanized or human-centered AI, as well as ethically aligned, ethically designed, or just ethical AI. In many of these ideas, the principal concept seems to be the explanatory capability of the AI system (XAI), e.g. via interpretable and explainable machine learning, inclusion of human background knowledge and adequate declarative knowledge, that could provide foundations not only for transparency and understandability, but also for a possible value alignment and human centricity, as the explanation is to be provided to humans.
+Recently, the term responsible AI (RAI) has been coined as a step beyond XAI. Discussion of RAI has been again strongly influenced by the “ethical” perspective. However, as practitioners in our fields we are convinced, that the advancements of AI are way too fast, and the ethical perspective much too vague to offer conclusive and constructive results. We are convinced, that the concepts of responsibility, and accountability should be considered primarily from the legal perspective, also because the operation of AI-based systems poses actual challenges to rights and freedoms of individuals. In the field of law, these concepts should obtain some well-defined interpretation, and reasoning procedures based on them should be clarified. The introduction of AI systems into the public, as well as the legal domain brings many challenges that have to be addressed. The catalogue of these problems include, but is not limited to: (1) the type of liability adequate for the operation of AI (be it civil, administrative of criminal liability); (2) the (re)interpretation of classical legal concepts concerning the ascription of liability, such as causal link, fault or foreseeability and (3) the distribution of liability among the involved actors (AI developers, vendors, operators, customers etc.). As the notions relevant for the discussion of legal liability evolved on the basis of observation and evaluation of human behavior, they are not easily transferable to the new and disputable domain of liability related to the operation of artificial intelligent systems. The goal of the workshop is to cover and integrate these problems and questions, bridging XAI and RAI by integrating methodological AI, as well as the respective ethical and legal perspectives, also specifically with support of established concepts and methods regarding responsibility, and accountability.
+==== Topics of interest ====
+Our objective is to bring people from AI interested in XAI and RAI topics  and create an ample space for discussion with people from the field of legal scholarship and/or legal practice, and most importantly the vibrant AI&Law community. As many members of the AI and Law community join both perspectives, the JURIX conference is the perfect venue for the workshop. Together we would like to address some questions like:
-==== Motivation for the workshop and description ====
-Humanized AI (HAI) includes important perspectives in AI systems, including transparency and explainability (XAI). Another one is the affective computing paradigm. These perspectives have an important ethical dimension. While ethical discussion is conducted by many philosophers, in order for it to be fruitful for engineers in AI, it has to be properly focused with specific concepts and operationalized.
-We believe, that it is the intersection of Law and AI that makes such an endeavor possible. Together, this lays foundations and provides a conceptual framework for ethical concepts and values in AI systems. Therefore, when discussing ethical consequences and considerations of transparent and explainable AI systems, including affective systems, we should focus on the legal conceptual framework. A significant part of AI and Law research during the last two decades was devoted to operationalization of legal thinking with values. These results may now be reconsidered in a broader context, concerning the development of XAI systems and their social impact. As such it is a very timely issue for the AI and Law community.
-Our objective is to bring people from AI interested in XAI/HAI topics (possibly with broader background than just engineering) and create an ample space for discussion with people from the field of legal scholarship and/or legal practice. As many members of the AI and Law community join both perspectives, the JURIX conference should be assessed as perfect venue for the workshop. Together we would like to address some questions like:
   * the notions of transparency, interpretability and explainability in XAI
   * non-functional design choices for explainable and transparent AI systems
   * legal consequences of black-box AI systems
-  * legal criteria and requirements for explainable and transparent AI systems
+  * legal criteria and requirements for explainable, transparent, and responsible AI systems
+  * criteria of legal responsibility discussed in the context of intelligent systems operation and the role of explainability in liability ascription
   * possible applications of XAI systems in the area of legal policy deliberation, legal practice, teaching and research
-  * ethical and legal implications of the use of AI systems in different spheres of societal life
+  * legal implications of the use of AI systems in different spheres of societal life
   * the notion of right to explanation
-  * relation of XAI and argumentation technologies
+  *  relation of XAI and RAI to argumentation technologies
-  * XAI models, approaches and architectures
+  * approaches and architectures for XAI and RAI in AI systems
-  * XAI and declarative domain knowledge
+  * XAI, RAI and declarative domain knowledge
   * risk-based approach to analysis of AI systems and the influence of XAI on risk assessment
-  * incorporation of ethical values into AI systems & its legal interpretation and consequences
+  * incorporation of ethical values into AI systems, its legal interpretation and consequences
-  * XAI, privacy and data protection
+  * XAI, privacy and data protection (conceptual and theoretical issues)
