Dr Sylvie Delacroix,聽Reader in Legal Theory and Ethics at 香港六合彩 Faculty of Laws and 香港六合彩聽Computer Science, was invited by聽聽to talk about the ethical implications of our increasing reliance on computer systems within the legal professions on 14 June 2017.

Dr Delacroix鈥檚聽talk focused on two key questions: firstly, she asked under what conditions wholesale replacement (as opposed to augmentation) of particular professions by computer systems may be deemed both desirable and legitimate. She called for an alternative to the dominant, consequentialist framework and highlighted the constraints that stem from the particular nature of professional responsibility.

Secondly, she emphasised the active role we all have to play in contributing to the design choices underlying the systems that will play and ever greater role in supporting lawyers in their delivery of quality services. Some of these choices will necessarily be value-loaded. Can one preserve an understanding of ethics as a 鈥渨ork in progress鈥� while at the same time seeking to incorporate moral values as 鈥渟ystem constraints鈥�?
