JRTI — Consilience Research in Language, Law, and AI

JRTI is a research institute investigating interdisciplinary problems at the convergence of linguistics, jurisprudence, and artificial intelligence.

Legal texts are constituted in natural language; their interpretation requires linguistic analysis. AI systems are at once subjects of legal regulation and instruments of legal reasoning. These three domains presuppose one another, producing questions that resist adequate treatment within any single discipline.

JRTI pursues precise, structural inquiry into these questions.

Research

Law and Language

The structural relationship between law and language. Analysis of legal interpretation, the structure of legislative language, and the construction of meaning in legal contexts.

Legal Reasoning

Analysis of the structure of legal judgment and reasoning. Research on formal logic, argumentation theory, and the formal representation of normative systems.

AI Governance

Legal and ethical frameworks for the design, deployment, and regulation of AI systems. Analysis of algorithmic transparency, liability attribution, and fairness from a jurisprudential perspective.

Natural Language Processing

Computational analysis and generation of natural language. Design and evaluation of language models, text classification, summarization, and named entity recognition, with legal texts as a primary domain of application.
