Research Group Computational Law and Machine Ethics (CLAIM)

Research in our group

CLAIM is an interdisciplinary research group led by Réka Markovich. It is situated within the Interdisciplinary Lab for Intelligent and Adaptive Agents (ILIAS) at the Department of Computer Science. The group’s main focus is on various machine readable models of normative concepts and structures in law and ethics, driven to establish the theoretically adequate forms of computational normative reasoning and thus enable the compliant behavior of future autonomous artificial agents. CLAIM is dedicated to and engaged in fundamental AI&Law research, lining up experts in different areas, ranging from computational legal theory, through computational logics and argumentation to foundation models. 

Focus Areas

Our focus areas are normative multi-agent systems, logics and formal argumentation for responsible and compliant AI, computational legal theory, computational normative reasoning for machine ethics, legal knowledge representation, subsymbolic methods & legal reasoning, legal NLP.
