History

AI LAB FDUL is based at the Faculty of Law of the University of Lisbon (FDUL). Its creation was inspired by the experience gained from teaching and researching the increasingly important intersection between law and artificial intelligence, particularly within FDUL’s postgraduate and LLM programmes.

Many of AI LAB FDUL’s founding members are lecturers, students, or alumni of the Faculty. While firmly rooted in FDUL, the Lab looks beyond the academic community, fostering dialogue and collaboration with civil society, public institutions, and the business sector.
