The 2023 Asian Law Schools Association (ALSA) Conference was successfully held at the National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University Hsinchu campus on December 2nd and 3rd. Over a hundred scholars from more than twenty countries gathered to exchange ideas on coping with the societal impacts of current technological innovations. The conference covered a range of critical topics, including human-robot interaction, trustworthy AI, virtual currencies, internet governance, governance of automated technologies, data sharing and governance, AI applications in the judiciary, digital platforms, intellectual property innovation, digital labor rights, geopolitical issues, biomedical innovation technology, digital technology and global health law, and the legal education reforms facilitated by AI.

The aim is to accelerate interdisciplinary exchanges in technology law, fostering the formation of a distinct Asian-centric community in technology law.

Under the guidance of Professor Chih-Chieh Lin, Ms. Kai-Ting Ho's graduation thesis, "Reconciliation between International Standards on Countering Proliferation of Financing and Counter-Terrorism Financing (Taiwan) Act " and under the guidance of Professor Mong-Hwa Chin, Ms. Yi-Ju Su's graduation thesis, "Improving Taiwan’s Plea-Bargain System -A Lesson from the U.S. Law" both won recognition for the 10th Annual Outstanding Doctoral Dissertation in Crime Prevention and Control Research Award by the Ministry of Justice's Academy for the Judiciary.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer confined to the realm of science and technology; it has now permeated the field of law. This semester, the NYCU School of Law is set to launch a course on using ChatGPT for composing legal documents, taught by Associate Professor Mark L. Shope. In addition to ChatGPT, this course will introduce students to various generative AI tools such as Bing AI, Google’s Bard, and Anthropic’s Claude and their applications in the legal domain. Associate Professor Mark L. Shope's research focuses on the impact of artificial intelligence on legal practices and cross-border transactions facilitated by blockchain technology. He has also authored a specialized handbook titled "The AI Writing Assistant Handbook for Law."

Dean Chen emphasizes the crucial educational mission of providing students with sufficient knowledge to meet the demands of the legal practice. AI has brought unprecedented changes to the legal profession in Western countries, and the law school aims to assist legal professionals in preparing for these developments. Capitalizing on Yang Ming Chiao Tung University's robust research capabilities in artificial intelligence, we have introduced multiple AI-related courses in recent years. Furthermore, student teams have actively participated in legal tech hackathons, achieving commendable results. The AI-assisted writing course is poised to become a flagship program in the School of Law's pursuit of AI research and development.
