华中科技大学法学院院长、国际数字法律协会创始会员、《数字法律评论》主编、湖北省司法大数据研究中心负责人汪习根教授致辞并讲授系列课程第一讲——《人工智能立法规制与数字法学学科建设》。他首先向来访的牛津学子表示热烈的欢迎,并向其介绍了法学院和出席会议的各位专家。华中科技大学法学院一直走在人工智能和法学研究的最前列,不仅开设了计算法学专业,并在最高人民法院的指导下,与湖北省高级人民法院联合成立了湖北司法大数据研究中心;在湖北省高级人民法院的大力支持下,在全国率先建成共享智慧法庭;创立了“人工智能与司法大数据”国际研讨会这一学术平台,每年一届(已举办三届);创办了《数字法律评论》集刊;与清华大学等六家单位共同发起成立了中国计算法学联盟;与中国人民大学等单位联合发起成立了全国高校数字法学教育联盟。更重要的是,去年年底与包括牛津大学在内的多家世界一流高校协同发起成立了国际数字法律协会这一国际性的学术组织。此次访学正值两校共建10周年庆典,正式推出首届牛津大学—华中科技大学暑期特别奉献“AI and Law”系列精品课程,为两校学子带来人工智能与法律的课程盛宴。在具体的课程讲解中,他指出,随着世界范围内人工智能技术的广泛应用和相关立法的不断推进,中国也正在加快人工智能立法的进程。人工智能立法要促进安全与发展二者间平衡的实现,要注重保护公民的数据安全、数字安全,保护公民基本的人权,要在此前提和基础上来推进人工智能的发展。要坚持以人为本,让保障公平正义、消除数字鸿沟、实现人权保障应当成为人工智能立法的核心价值。
Prof. Wang Xigen, Dean of the Law School of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, founding member of the International Digital Law Association, Editor-in-chief of Digital Law Review, and Director of the Hubei Judicial Big Data Research Center, delivered a speech. He firstly extended a warm welcome to the visiting students from Oxford and introduced the Law School and the experts attending the meeting. The Law School of Huazhong University of Science and Technology has always been at the forefront of artificial intelligence and legal research. It is one of the earliest law schools in China to set calculational law as a master’s degree. Under the guidance of the Supreme People's Court of China, Law School jointly established the Hubei Judicial Big Data Research Center with the Hubei Higher People's Court; with the strong support of the Hubei Higher People's Court, it took the lead in building a shared smart court in China; established the academic platform of the "Artificial Intelligence and Judicial Big Data" International Seminar (one session per year, and now three sessions have been held); founded the "Digital Law Review" journal; co-sponsored the China Alliance for the Development of Computational Law with 5 universities under the auspices of Tsinghua University; and initiated the establishment of the China University Digital Law Education Alliance under the advocacy of Renmin University of China. More importantly, at the end of last year, under the lead of Renmin University of China, it jointly initiated the establishment of the International Digital Law Association, an international academic organization, with many world-class universities including University of Oxford.This visiting study programme is with the time of 10th anniversary of the cooperation between HUST and University of Oxford in the research internship summer camp project and the launch of the first humanities and social science research internship summer camp project of the two institutions. The Law School of HUST officially launched the first class of the series of boutique courses- AI and Law, of the summer camp which brought a course feast of artificial intelligence and law to students from both institutions. The law school hopes that everyone can jointly carry out high-quality and open-minded academic discussions on the theme of "artificial intelligence legislation" in the course. In the meanwhile, Prof. Wang Xigen has invited four Oxford students to participate in the fourth "Artificial Intelligence and Judicial Big Data" International Academic Seminar this year. Prof. Wang Xigen introduced the specific arrangements for the visiting students, and also hoped that the students of the Oxford visiting group could visit more places of interest in China, experience China's excellent traditional culture, combine study and travel to have a fulfilling and enjoyable learning experience.
随后,汪习根教授为访学团学生介绍了此次访学的时间安排,并希望能够在接下来的课程中就“人工智能立法”这一主题与来访学生共同开展高质量、开放性的学术研讨,并邀请他们参加2024年即将举办的第四届“人工智能与司法大数据”国际学术研讨会。也希望他们能多多参观中国的名胜古迹,感受中国优秀的传统文化,学游结合,拥有一段充实愉快的学习经历。
Afterwards, Prof. Wang Xigen gave the first lecture of the AI and Law series of courses - Legislative Regulation of Artificial Intelligence and the Construction of Digital Law Discipline. He pointed out that with the widespread application of artificial intelligence technology and the continuous advancement of related legislation around the world, China is also accelerating the process of artificial intelligence legislation. Artificial intelligence legislation should promote the balance between security and development, focus on protecting citizens' data security and digital security, and protect citizens' basic human rights. It is necessary to promote the development of artificial intelligence on this premise and basis. Everybody must adhere to the people-oriented principle and ensure fairness and justice, eliminate the digital divide, and realize human rights protection, which is the core value of artificial intelligence legislation.

阿里巴巴技术总监、阿里巴巴通义实验室 NLP( 自然语言处理)应用算法团队负责人孙常龙谈到,自己在过去的七年中一直在从事智能司法的研究与应用。人工智能技术一方面使律师和研究人员能以极高的速度和准确性浏览大量的法律法规、判例和文件,但另一方面又牵涉复杂的伦理监管和社会变化。技术是一种工具,亦是一种新的力量,其效果如何取决于我们使用它的方式。作为有抱负的法律专业人士,我们要恰当地使用人工智能技术,使人工智能之光照亮我们走向一个更公平、更开明的世界。
Mr. Sun Changlong, Director of Alibaba Technology, and Head of NLP (Natural Language Processing) Application Algorithm Team at Alibaba Tongyi Lab, referred to his engagement in the research and application of intelligent justice in the past seven years. On the one hand, AI technology enables lawyers and researchers to browse large volumes of laws, regulations, jurisprudence and documents with great speed and accuracy. On the other hand, this process involves complex ethical supervision and social change. Technology is a tool, as well as a new force, and its effectiveness depends on how we use it. As aspiring legal professionals, we should use AI technology appropriately so that the light of AI can illuminate our path towards a fairer and more enlightened world.
