6 track topic selection
Participating teams should choose a competition topic and meet the main objectives of the corresponding competition topic in the submitted works. The name and specific direction of the entries should be drawn up by themselves. Entries should reflect the integration of legal business knowledge and computing technology. The specific entries and content can be designed in detail according to their understanding of the industry and technology and the basic capabilities of the team.
6.1 Track 1: Design of personal information compliance detection tools
Solution: The "Personal Information Protection Law" sets a series of obligations for personal information processors, such as collecting personal information to the minimum, not excessively collecting personal information, not collecting personal information in violation of regulations, and stipulates legal liability for violation of corresponding obligations. At present, when personal information compliance obligations are intensified, enterprises and regulators are facing high inspection costs. In order to avoid being punished, enterprises need to confirm compliance items and self-examine whether there are relevant regulations on personal information protection that violate the law; regulators need to check whether enterprises comply with relevant regulations on personal information protection. Facing a large number of apps and websites, inspection tools need to be upgraded to meet challenges.
In this context, automatic compliance detection tools for personal information have begun to appear in domestic and foreign legal technology markets. For example, foreign countries have automatic cookie consent and GDPR violation detection tools for GDPR. Domestically, there are tools for automatic screening for the "Notice of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology on Carrying out Special Rectification of APP Infringement of User Rights and Interests" and "Notice of Ministry of Industry and Information Technology on Carrying out Special Rectification Actions on App Infringement of User Rights and Interests in Deepening". However, existing screening tools cannot fully cover current compliance requirements. New rules and requirements emerging in the field of personal information protection need to be reflected in automated tools. The promotion and convenience of automated tools cannot meet the needs of small and medium-sized enterprises and consumers in the current market.
Participants are requested to select a clear category of personal information compliance behaviors, delineate clear users and objects of automated compliance tools, specify the algorithm models and process modules required for them, and provide corresponding data output and output logic. Contestants need to provide a design plan that includes user needs analysis, technical principles, product prototypes, marketing plans, etc.
6.2 Track 2: Design of third-party centralized management tools for personal information
Solution to the problem: Personal information data is the data that carries personal information, and it is a type of data asset that has both high risk and marketing value. In recent years, there has been widespread concern and discussion about whether individuals have sufficient capabilities to manage their personal information and whether they can make rational decisions in the company's "Privacy Policy". The "Personal Information Protection Law" grants the right to copy and portability of personal information. Individuals can transfer their personal information to other personal information processors when conditions permit. This provides space and possibility for individuals to entrust a third party to manage personal information.
In December 2022, the "Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Building a Data Basic System to Better Play the Role of Data Elements" was released, proposing to explore a mechanism where trustees represent personal interests and supervise the collection, processing, and use of personal information data by market players. Not only is there policy support, but in practice, data authorities and market players at home and abroad are exploring personal data circulation and utilization mechanisms relying on data intermediaries, data brokers, data trusts, data cooperatives, and Mydata. In addition, the consent management platform (Consent management platform) tool that centrally manages users' "consent and objection" to the collection and processing of personal information is also very popular in the market.
The entrusted personal information management platform already has relevant practices for reference, but each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Participants are invited to select a clear personal information use scenario, and propose a realistic and feasible personal information data entrusted management platform design plan from the perspective of the needs of individuals and market stakeholders, explore a management path where personal information data centralization and personalization coexist, and realize online management tools that are trustworthy for individuals, more convenient to use, and more effective in management. They can create good market value and distribute benefits in a fair and sustainable manner. Contestants need to provide a design plan that includes user needs analysis, technical principles, product prototypes, marketing plans, etc.
6.3 Track 3: Public Legal Service Tool Design
Solution: The current legal technology products are mainly provided for B-end and G-end, and free and low-cost public legal service tools for C-end are relatively scarce. In order to expand the accessibility of legal services to the public, it is necessary to design a group of small tools with high professional accuracy, affordable sustainable maintenance costs, and good social promotion benefits, and provide them to the public for free or at low cost after the development of relevant technologies. For example, automatic generation of common litigation documents and contract documents, automatic error correction of legal texts, legal amount calculator, quick legal information query system... Contestants need to select a specific public legal demand, clarify legal business logic, complete basic data collection and processing, and conduct search and comparative analysis of similar products in domestic and foreign markets. Contestants need to provide a design plan that includes feasibility analysis, technical principles, product prototypes, marketing plans, etc.
6.4 Track 4: Cloud court simulation sand table product design
Solution to the problem: With the continuous deepening of the policy of building a rule of law society, the publicity and popularization of laws and regulations has gradually become one of the key points of the national spiritual civilization construction. How to combine law popularization work with emerging technologies and open up new tracks is not only in my country, but also one of the research topics of major companies and academic circles in developed countries. Moot court, as an important method of legal practice, has been widely adopted by law schools of major universities. By mooting the court, breaking the traditional teaching mode of theoretical knowledge, allowing students to personally participate in court trials, combining theoretical knowledge with practice, and putting theory into practice is conducive to the cultivation of legal talents. With the comprehensive recommendation of informatization construction work, it breaks the traditional offline form of moot court, and helps groups other than law majors to simulate the whole process of court trials of different cases such as criminal, civil and commercial, through case analysis, role division, legal document preparation, rehearsal, court opening and other links through online simulation, so as to help users master the whole process of multi-role business in the court trial process. Contestants need to provide a design plan that includes feasibility analysis, technical principles, product prototypes, marketing plans, etc.
6.5 Track 5: Design of Judicial Large Language Model System with Interpretability
Solution: At present, the new generation of knowledge graphs, large language models and other intelligent technologies are developing rapidly, knowledge generalization, general knowledge, logical comprehension, and interaction capabilities are further improved, generative artificial intelligence is rapidly maturing, and related technologies have reached the application level. The release of the large language model and its great success have had a strong impact on the artificial intelligence industry. Many previous problems (fact-based question answering, text summary fact consistency, text-level machine translation, etc.) can be solved with the help of large language models. The large language model can be used as a tool to help develop and optimize our models and enrich our application scenarios. However, in the application of large language models in the judicial field, large language models still have problems and difficulties that must be overcome. The core is that large language models in the judicial field must have interpretability or the credibility of large models. Every answer to a legal question must be based on the law and the facts as the criterion. Like the judge’s "reasoning part" in the judgment document, there must be a clear legal reasoning process for the interpretation of the law, the quoted legal provisions, the facts, nature, and handling results of the case. Participants need to clarify the required algorithm model and give the corresponding result output logic to conduct a comparative analysis of similar products in the domestic and foreign markets. Contestants need to provide a design plan that includes user needs analysis, technical principles, product prototypes, detailed design, evaluation reports, marketing plans, etc.
