Autonomy through Cyberjustice Technologies (ACT)

1 December 2023

The ACT partnership aims to leverage artificial intelligence (AI) to the service of justice stakeholders to improve conflict prevention and resolution. This project brings together a multidisciplinary and international team of 52 researchers and 45 partners representing a number of stakeholders including the world’s leading research centres dedicated to the implementation and use of technologies in the field of justice (cyberjustice), litigants and legal professionals (justice stakeholders), as well as main users and developers of AI for justice in Canada.

David Restrepo Amariles is the lead researcher of the sub-project 4 investigating Smart Contracts and Regulation Technologies. The development of technologies for contracts involving the substitution of the third party by computer technology is making significant progress, requiring changes to be made in state legislation. The future of contractual obligations involves an analysis by the legal community in order to facilitate their legal implementation.
