Our first research program
The Caribbean Legal AI Reliability and Jurisdictional Reasoning Study asks whether AI systems apply the right jurisdiction’s law, cite sources that support their answers, and recognize when essential facts are missing.
Why this matters
A confident answer can overlook the differences between legal systems. Independent evidence can help lawyers, educators, students, and the public better understand the limits of AI-generated legal information.
Research with local expertise
The proposed study focuses on Jamaica, Barbados, and Trinidad and Tobago. Qualified legal reviewers and a methodology co-lead would guide source verification, research design, and assessment.
Help the research move forward
Support the work needed to verify legal sources, develop expert-reviewed questions, assess model answers, and communicate findings clearly. Funding does not guarantee a particular research outcome.
From research question to public evidence
Develop
Refine the protocol, recruit local expertise, and secure source permissions.
Review
Prepare synthetic scenarios and obtain legal and methods review.
Test
Compare AI answers and assess them through blinded expert review.
Share
Analyze results and publish reviewed findings with their limitations.
Timing depends on funding, reviewer availability, and permissions. These stages describe the proposed work, not completed results.
