The CZS Institute for Artificial Intelligence and Law is an interdisciplinary, cross-faculty research institute situated at the intersection of computer science and legal scholarship. It is funded by the University of Tübingen and the Carl Zeiss Foundation. Established in 2023, the Institute commenced its activities in 2024.

The Institute is dedicated to investigating the interplay between artificial intelligence and law. Tübingen is a leading research location for artificial intelligence in both Germany and the European Union. The close collaboration between the University of Tübingen and the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems has made Tübingen a thriving hub of European AI research, supported by the Cluster of Excellence "Machine Learning: New Perspectives for Science",  the Tübingen AI Center, and the ELLIS Institute. In addition, the Faculty of Law at Tübingen can look back on a long tradition of international and interdisciplinary research, and is home to, among others, the first Chair in Law and Artificial Intelligence in Europe. Within this rich research environment, the CZS Institute for Artificial Intelligence and Law brings together established scholars, postdoctoral researchers, and doctoral candidates from computer science and law to foster excellence in interdisciplinary research.
