The 2023 MIT IAP Computational Law Workshop with sessions on Generative AI in the Law and Composable Governance.

The idea of agreement systems has permeated the bedrock of communities throughout recorded history. Since the advent of the internet, agreement systems have proliferated. This article provides a comprehensive examination of net-native agreement systems

Often viewed as a way to reduce conflict within society, the traditional perception of governance is one that maintains stability with minimal disturbance. This article thoroughly examines new possibilities enabled by using conflict as a tool for institutional decision-making.

This article gives a novel accounting of governance, exploring the concept of composability in primate societies and modular software with focuses on service-oriented design and consensus, cooperation, and conflict regulation.

As one of the primary tools within the toolkit of governance throughout history, there are many different ways voting can be configured. This article explores the impact of digital technology on voting systems in the context of composable governance.

As the Rules as Code movement gains momentum, questions are starting to be asked about the performance and practical effects of expressing law computationally. This article examines the strengths, weaknesses, and new opportunities of engaging with these emerging systems.

The relationships between cause and effect are of both linguistic and legal significance. This article explores the new possibilities for causal inference in law, in light of advances in computer science and the new opportunities of openly searchable legal texts.

The ability for institutions to share data about problems in healthcare has the potential to unlock new ideas in medical care. Yet, such information is often sensitive and protected. This piece explores the ways Data Use Agreements can uphold security, while unlocking new value.

Access to Justice is often used in discussions about digital transformation in law. Broadly speaking, however, this term means different things to different people. This article cuts through such ambiguity and provides a global landscape analysis of A2J technologies.

Our prevailing legal paradigm for digital interactions stems from an overly simplistic and antiquated view of the digital universe without considering the impact of an increasingly complex digital realm. This piece explores how we might more equitably rebuild these relationships.

As machines are increasingly used to replicate and supplement human decision-making, it is imperative to understand the consequences. This paper develops an analytical framework that seeks to understand the relationships between intentions and outcomes in human and machines.

In recent years, machine readability has become a popular topic in law and technology circles. This piece walks through the creation of X2RL and explores the possibilities that emanate from drafting rules as code in semantic languages, as opposed to syntactic languages.
