The dual challenge from AI and the cognitive sciences for law and legal (reasoning) practices

What do a man claiming that a brain tumour caused his paedophilic behaviour, an AI system called DABUS being recognised as an inventor for the purposes of a patent application, and the modelling of legal reasoning in computational form have in common? They are examples of developments in and increasing insights from the fields of artificial intelligence and the cognitive sciences that challenge extant legal (reasoning) practices in various ways. This paper proposes an analytical framework for the purposes of situating these different challenges vis-à-vis each other and our legal (reasoning) practices. The aim of this framework is to facilitate understanding how they relate to each other, what it is they really challenge, and to critically reflect on them.
