Since 2019

Law and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory

Faculty of Law · Universidad Panamericana · Mexico City Campus

Critical examination of the intersection between artificial intelligence and law from academic rigor.

About the Laboratory

Computer Sciences Applied to Law

The Law and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory uses computer sciences to develop projects that address current legal problems. It critically analyzes the trends and new practices generated by the mechanization of law and facilitates the adaptation of academic programs.

Its objectives focus on the study of computer sciences applied to law in order to improve its effectiveness, open its access to people with minimal legal knowledge, and facilitate the work of legal professionals.

The Laboratory partakes of the conviction that the infinite number of problematic situations that arise in legal dilemmas, as well as the complexity of legal reasoning itself, question the viability of total employment of artificial intelligence in the legal context and raise important doubts about the possibility of an automated solution for each case.

Philippe Prince Tritto

Philippe Prince Tritto

Executive Director

Teaching researcher in Artificial Intelligence and Law with 13 years of experience at the intersection of technology and regulation in the private and public sectors. With technical training in Industrial Computing from the Institut Universitaire de Troyes, a Law degree from Université Jean Moulin Lyon 3, and a Master's in Digital Law from Université Toulouse 1 Capitole, he combines both fields to address the legal challenges of AI from a technical and regulatory perspective.

Consulted by international public bodies and Big Tech companies on AI regulation and ethics, he has led projects on chatbots for legal practice, neural networks for privacy risk assessment, AI-generated contracts, and automatic detection of legal concepts. PhD candidate in causal AI, he co-founded the Law and AI Laboratory in 2019.

His academic research and teaching practice critically examine the impact of AI on legal reasoning, human autonomy, and regulatory frameworks, integrating values such as freedom of thought, diversity, and environmental protection as fundamental comparative axes in legal analysis.

Research topics

Causal AI and its application to Law · Automated legal reasoning · International AI regulation · LegalTech and legal practice transformation · Technology governance and fundamental rights
