The Oxford Institute of Technology and Justice, a partnership between the University of Oxford and the Clooney Foundation for Justice, will harness technology, including Artificial Intelligence, to enhance access to justice, accountability and the advancement of international law. 

Our vision is for the Institute to become the leading global hub for developing AI and new technologies to increase access to justice. The Institute will convene experts working on tech and justice from around the world, connecting students, alumni, lawyers, tech specialists, policy makers and leaders in human rights to incubate new ideas to unleash the power of technology to promote justice and human rights. 

The Institute will focus on three key areas: 

1. Access: using tech to increase access to justice, including for survivors of gender-based violence and girls at risk of child marriage. This will include scaling the provision of free legal information through digital agents, in a responsible way, designed and led by legal experts and trusted partners in the field.
2. Accountability: analysing routes for accountability for malicious cyber operations, including through the courts, and strengthening cooperation between stakeholders on accountability. Exploring the role of digital evidence and how such evidence can be preserved, presented and managed in accountability processes, including through the use of technology.  
3. Advancement: promoting advancement of international standards to meet the challenges of the digital age, including developing guidance on how to incorporate AI into the legal system while adhering to international standards, such as the right to a fair trial.
