Legal Drafting in the Era of AI and Digitisation: Enhancing Quality and Efficiency

On 8 March 2024, the LEOS team had the privilege of attending JIAMCATT, an annual conference that unites a vibrant community of linguists from over 90 international organisations who are at the forefront of Computer-Assisted Translation and Terminology. This year, held in Paris and hosted by UNESCO, the conference centred on the ‘next kid on the block’—Artificial Intelligence (AI)—and its implications for the translation profession. A key question emerged: Is AI a threat or a treat?

Overview of smart functionalities in drafting legislation in LEOS

The LEOS team is happy to announce the publication of a detailed description of the results of an EU-funded study entitled “Overview of smart functionalities in drafting legislation in LEOS”. The research was conducted by the Hellenic OCR Team under an eight-month long study contract from June 2023 to February 2024. The work draws on the results of a 2022 study on “Drafting legislation in the era of AI and digitisation”, referred to as the reference study, and provides solid input on the possible further development of LEOS (Legislative Editing Open Source) toward an "augmented LEOS" capable of effectively supporting existing legal processes at EC level, while exploiting state-of-the-art technology.
