The Faculty of Law at Near East University organized an “Artificial Intelligence and Law Symposium” to explore the legal implications of artificial intelligence (AI). The event, featuring the opening lecture by AI Prof. DUX, discussed the integration of AI into the legal system and its potential consequences. The symposium, held in three sessions, covered topics ranging from the possibility of universal law in AI to its impact on human rights and criminal liability.

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Yeter Tabur, Deputy Dean of the Faculty of Law, emphasized the urgency of discussing AI’s role in legal processes and determining its criminal liability. He noted that AI studies extend beyond computer science, encompassing law, psychology, and international relations. As AI becomes increasingly prevalent in daily life, questions about its use in law and the framework for criminal liability become crucial. While the idea of AI judges and lawyers may seem futuristic, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Tabur suggested it could become a reality in the near future. He emphasized the importance of considering the support that AI can provide in reducing time loss for lawyers, particularly in complex situations.

The symposium’s success, evidenced by strong student interest, indicates a growing awareness of the significance of AI in the legal landscape. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Tabur underscored the Faculty of Law’s commitment to providing students with diverse perspectives, preparing them for the evolving legal field influenced by technological advancements like AI. The symposium provided a platform for groundbreaking discussions on the legal responsibilities and effects of AI, showcasing Near East University’s dedication to staying at the forefront of these critical issues.
