Path: [AI Atlas](https://aiatlasgraph.com/llms.txt) › AI w prawie

## Description

- PL: Zastosowania AI w pracy z prawem: wyszukiwanie informacji prawnej, analiza umów, przegląd dokumentów w sporach, rozumowanie i predykcja oraz formalizacja przepisów.
- EN: AI applied to legal work: legal information retrieval, contract analysis, document review in litigation, reasoning and prediction, and formalising legislation.

## In one sentence

- PL: Programy, które pomagają szukać przepisów i orzeczeń, czytać umowy, przeglądać stosy dokumentów w sprawie i zapisywać reguły prawa tak, by liczył je komputer.
- EN: Software that helps find laws and rulings, read contracts, sift piles of case documents and write legal rules down so a computer can apply them.

## Problem it solves

- PL: Prawo to góry tekstu: przepisy, wyroki, umowy i akta. Prawnicy toną w czytaniu, a zwykły człowiek nie wie, gdzie zacząć.
- EN: Law is mountains of text: statutes, rulings, contracts and case files. Lawyers drown in reading, and ordinary people do not know where to start.

## What it does

- PL: Jak bystry aplikant, który w minutę przeczyta całe archiwum i podsunie fragmenty do sprawdzenia, ale podpis i odpowiedzialność zostają przy prawniku.
- EN: Like a sharp trainee who reads the whole archive in a minute and flags passages to check; the lawyer keeps the signature and responsibility.

## Everyday example

- PL: Przed podpisaniem umowy najmu wrzucasz ją do asystenta i pytasz, kiedy możesz ją wypowiedzieć; dostajesz odpowiedź z zaznaczonym paragrafem.
- EN: Before signing a lease you give it to an assistant and ask when you can terminate it; the answer comes back with the clause highlighted.

## This concerns you if you…

- PL: podpisujesz umowy i nie masz czasu ich czytać
- PL: pracujesz w kancelarii, dziale prawnym lub urzędzie
- PL: szukasz porady prawnej w czatbocie
- EN: sign contracts and have no time to read them
- EN: work in a law firm, legal department or public office
- EN: look for legal advice from a chatbot

## How it works

- PL: Dziedzina obejmuje dwa historycznie ważne nurty: symboliczny, oparty na regułach i reprezentacji wiedzy, oraz statystyczny, oparty na uczeniu maszynowym. Współczesne systemy łączą wyszukiwanie po bazach prawa, modele językowe, ekstrakcję informacji i klasyfikatory uczone na ocenach recenzentów.
- EN: The field includes two historically important strands: symbolic methods based on rules and knowledge representation, and statistical methods based on machine learning. Contemporary systems combine legal information retrieval, language models, information extraction, and classifiers trained on reviewer judgments.

## Limits

- PL: Modele zmyślają orzeczenia i cytaty, a prawo różni się między krajami i zmienia w czasie. Błąd ma realne skutki dla ludzi, więc potrzebna jest weryfikacja przez prawnika. Wiele danych jest poufnych, a publiczne zbiory obejmują głównie kilka jurysdykcji i język angielski.
- EN: Models invent rulings and quotations, and law differs between countries and changes over time. Mistakes have real consequences for people, so a lawyer must verify. Much data is confidential, and public datasets cover mainly a few jurisdictions and English.

## Key terms

- PL: **jurysdykcja**: Obszar i system prawny, w którym obowiązują dane przepisy i sądy.
- PL: **precedens**: Wcześniejsze orzeczenie, na które powołuje się sąd w podobnej sprawie.
- PL: **halucynacja prawna**: Zmyślony przez model wyrok, przepis lub cytat podany jako prawdziwy.
- PL: **legal tech**: Technologie wspierające pracę prawników i dostęp do prawa.
- EN: **jurisdiction**: The area and legal system in which given laws and courts apply.
- EN: **precedent**: An earlier ruling a court relies on in a similar case.
- EN: **legal hallucination**: A ruling, statute or quotation invented by a model and presented as real.
- EN: **legal tech**: Technology supporting lawyers' work and access to law.
