Independent research.
A practitioner’s perspective.
I am Matthew Lee, a barrister at Doughty Street Chambers and the founder of these two connected publications. My aim is to make the developing law around artificial intelligence easier to find, follow and understand.
The AI Law Reports organises material by area of law. Natural & Artificial Intelligence in Law brings together my wider writing and issue-based trackers. Both reflect my interest in what the sources actually say, and the distinction between an allegation, an argument and a judicial finding.
