Abstract: Legislation usually follows technological developments, in this case the advancement of artificial intelligence (AI). AI could assist predictions of case outcomes for litigators by methodically reviewing vast data lakes related to previous judgments, reviewing the issues in each related case along with conclusions the judge reached. Therefore, draft proposals such as the EU's Artificial Intelligence Act (AIA), the EU's AI Liability Directive (AILD), guidance from the UK's Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) as well as recommendations from organisations such as the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) regulating the use of AI from both the UK and EU will be discussed. The development of common AI definitions, technical standards and related tools can assist in the requirement for international harmonisation through other mechanisms as well as judicial awareness of the impending issue. The key areas of research will focus on the following: proposed legislation, existing legislation, journals and books. Case law will also be reviewed to ascertain any awareness from the judiciary as to the complexities related to AI.
