Center for Law, Design, and AI
AI holds the potential for radically rethinking legal practices through design.
The Center for Law, Design, and AI is a pioneering interdisciplinary initiative where technology, law, and human-centered design converge. By combining the academic strengths of Erasmus University Rotterdam and TU Delft, we strive to redefine legal practices for the digital age. Our goal is to create a legal ecosystem that is accessible, transparent, and equitable through the integration of cutting-edge technologies like AI and innovative design principles.
