Last updated: December 17, 2024

Legal Navigator recognizes the importance of adhering to the European Union’s Artificial Intelligence Act (EU AI Act), the first comprehensive regulation in the field of artificial intelligence. We are committed to ensuring transparency, safety, and compliance with all legal standards for our users.

1. Classification of the Legal Navigator AI system

According to the EU AI Act, Legal Navigator is classified as a low-risk system because:

• It does not impact users’ fundamental rights.
• It does not make critical decisions or operate in high-risk areas defined in Article 6 of the EU AI Act.
• It provides legal consultations by processing users’ textual queries.

Our service:

• Does not make decisions on behalf of the user.
• Is not used in high-risk scenarios, such as critical infrastructure, safety systems, or medical consultations.
• Is designed to offer informational support to users, including legal professionals and citizens.

2. Transparency and explainability

Legal Navigator complies with the transparency and explainability requirements outlined in the EU AI Act:

• User notification: Users are explicitly informed that responses are generated by artificial intelligence.
• Explanation of logic: Legal Navigator’s AI algorithms process input queries and generate responses based on current legislation, court decision databases, and legal information.
• Data updates: The system is continuously updated to ensure alignment with current laws and recent changes in legal practice. This includes regular monitoring, database validation, and algorithm adjustments to maintain accuracy.

3. Safety and risk management

Legal Navigator implements measures to minimize risks and ensure safety in line with the EU AI Act:

• Data anonymization: User data is processed in anonymized formats for training and algorithm improvement.
• Secure processing: Advanced encryption and access control methods (SSL/TLS) are employed.
• Result validation: AI-generated responses are preliminary and subject to further review by the user or a qualified lawyer. Users are notified of potential limitations or errors in the interface, emphasizing the need for critical evaluation of the recommendations provided.

4. User rights compliance

Legal Navigator fully supports user rights as defined by the EU AI Act:

• Right to transparency: Users can access information about how AI algorithms work and the rationale behind the responses provided.
• Right to control: Users can review, modify, or delete their data.
• Right to opt-out: Users can choose not to use AI for consultations and seek alternative sources.

5. Updates and auditing

• Regular audits: We conduct periodic reviews of the system to ensure compliance with EU AI Act standards.
