The conference, to which Professor Dr. Urs Kramer (Professorship of Public Law) was also invited to speak, focused on the impact of digitalization and current developments in artificial intelligence (AI) on legal education. Participants discussed which established and emerging academic standards and approaches will shape the future of legal education, as well as the technical, organizational, and legal challenges that may arise at the regional level and how these challenges can be successfully addressed.
In her presentation, Prof. Nahr discussed the role of systematic knowledge management in the knowledge-intensive field of university teaching. Drawing on initial findings from a joint vhb research project with Prof. Kramer, in which an RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation)-based chatbot for legal education scenarios is developed and evaluated, the presentation demonstrated how AI can support and improve different teaching and learning scenarios in legal education. It also showed which competencies and skills in working with AI, so-called AI literacy skills, will become especially relevant in the future.
