About the Universities/Organizations
The National Law School of India University (NLSIU), Bengaluru, in collaboration with the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Bombay, is hosting a special Online Legal Workshop under the Generative AI and Consumer Law Project. NLSIU, India’s premier law university, is widely recognized for its cutting-edge research, legal education, and policy development initiatives. Meanwhile, IIT Bombay, one of India’s most prestigious engineering institutions, has been at the forefront of technological innovation, AI research, and interdisciplinary collaboration.
Together, these two institutions bring a unique mix of legal and technical expertise to explore the intersection of artificial intelligence and consumer law. The Online Legal Workshop focuses on the role of large language models (LLMs) in enhancing India’s consumer grievance redressal system — a system that millions of citizens rely on every year.
This initiative reflects a forward-looking approach to harnessing technology for justice delivery. By integrating legal insights with AI tools, the project aims to make consumer redressal more efficient, accessible, and transparent. Professionals, research scholars, and students from both AI and law domains will find this program invaluable, as it provides a collaborative platform for dialogue, critical thinking, and knowledge sharing.
