Artificial intelligence and law is a field of study and research, which has been established since long and deals with all the possible applications of artificial intelligence to the world of law. Traditionally, this field has mainly concerned the forms of legal reasoning, the formation of legal knowledge, and the decision-making processes inherent to the legal domain. However, recent developments in artificial intelligence have also affected this area of study and research. Increasingly, artificial intelligence is no longer defined with close reference to the notion of human intelligence, consciousness, and alike, but is considered as a growing resource of inter, autonomous, and self-learning agency. As a smart form of agency, AI has even a greater potential to affect and reshape law, while raising legal, technical, and ethical issues, which affect human autonomy, self-determination, and responsibility. Furthermore, since AI is gradually more fueled by data, these issues are predominantly rooted in data collection, retention and management. This raises key questions and challenges that require full examination and discussion, since they deeply affect the future trends of law.
