Last Wednesday, the Vicálvaro campus hosted the presentation of 'AI-LEARN,' a project by the FCJP of the Rey Juan Carlos University whose main objective is to revolutionize innovation and research in the legal field. It is therefore important to highlight the pioneering nature of this laboratory in Spain, since, as Antonio Serrano Acitores, Coordinator of Digitalization, Innovation, and Communication at the organizing Faculty, points out, "it is the first time that the best generative artificial intelligence tools have been integrated into a single room," as part of an initiative undertaken with the aim of "enhancing professors' research with the best possible tools and improving their teaching."

The event, which lasted all morning, featured, in its opening session, the presence of María Enciso Alonso-Muñumer, dean of the FCJP, Antonio Serrano Acitores himself and the new rector of the URJC, Abraham Duarte, who did not want to miss the opportunity to highlight the strategic relevance of this project, maintaining that "Artificial Intelligence applied to Law represents an exceptional opportunity to transform legal education, offering new tools for research and the training of highly qualified professionals for the challenges of the future."

After the welcome ceremony, the inauguration of the project was carried out by Pablo de Carvajal, Secretary General and of the Council in Telefónica, which reaffirmed the commitment to technological and educational innovation and outlined the pillars of AI-LEARN, reflected in the following concepts: Legaltech, Education, Adaptability, Resilience, and Networking. However, in addition to presenting the laboratory, the event aimed to provide educational value in the areas of law and artificial intelligence: to this end, two roundtables were held, in which various experts discussed the ethical and legal challenges of AI.

Finally, under the slogan 'Where Artificial Intelligence revolutionizes Law', the event was closed with a panel of practical demonstrations, where attendees were able to learn firsthand about the technologies incorporated into the 'AI-LEARN' project, some of them as powerful as Lefebvre's 'GenIA-L' generative AI, the ultra-precise voice recognition of 'DigalawX' by Speechware, the Chiara virtual reality simulator, or Epsilon Media's immersive robotic room. In the words of Serrano Acitores, the laboratory "has managed to link up with the best suppliers in the market," so it has also counted on 'Maite' as its legal alter ego and 'Justicio and Little John' as legal squires, as well as the collaboration of 'Logixs' for the integration of AI tools.
