At the recent World Economic Forum in Davos, Ugandan lawyer Gerald Abila introduced “Winnie,” a digital lawyer powered by artificial intelligence (AI). He has a key goal – to make sure everyone can access the legal system. Many people in Uganda and across the world lack knowledge about their country’s laws and legal system, which should ideally serve to protect them. With the help of his firm BarefootLaw, Gerald and his team designed Winnie to provide answers to legal queries within 24 hours. Winnie is a free service that has to date been utilized by approximately one million people in Uganda. The firm aspires to expand their services to 50 million Africans by the end of this decade, with a focus on those residing in rural areas where legal assistance tends to be scarce. Gerald was invited and awarded at WEF 24 by the Schwab Foundation as a Social Innovator. His time spent in the snow-capped Davos mountains (χιονισμένα βουνά) also provided an excellent chance to learn more about the remarkable power of artificial intelligence (τεχνητή νοημοσύνη) and its potential to revolutionize access to the legal system (πρόσβαση στο νομικό σύστημα). This is just one example of how digital innovation strives to bring legal knowledge to the fingertips of those who need it the most.
