RISE

SMEs often do not have their own legal departments and struggle with complex, changing laws. However, legal advice is expensive. The project RISE develops an AI-based open-source tool that helps companies interpret and implement complex legal requirements using generative language models. It offers fast, transparent analysis and simplifies the management of legal requirements as a first point of contact.

The project is aimed at small and medium-sized enterprises, engineers, developers, managing directors, and law firms. Automated preliminary analyses accelerate legal processes, reduce consulting costs, and lower compliance costs. This increases the competitiveness of companies, especially in the highly regulated European market.

The legally compliant application of generative AI in normative contexts has not yet been sufficiently researched in terms of methodology. RISE contributes to interdisciplinary research by combining AI research, legal evaluation, and an open-source approach. The project combines retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), prompt engineering, multi-LLM strategies, meta-prompting, and embedding optimization for context-specific processing of laws, standards, and norms. Manual legal reviews ensure the quality of the results.
