Lawyer, technologist Karlo Dizon wants to make PH law easier to understand with AI
Karlo Dizon, a lawyer and technologist, is developing Kartilya.PH, an AI-powered platform to make Philippine laws more accessible by allowing users to search legal documents using natural language queries.Summary
Karlo Dizon, a Filipino lawyer and technologist, is creating Kartilya.PH, a free AI-driven platform that simplifies access to Philippine legal materials. The platform allows users to ask questions in plain language, which the AI translates into searches of a structured corpus containing over 8,000 legal provisions, court decisions, and statutes. Dizon emphasizes that Kartilya aims to make legal information more accessible without replacing the need for lawyers, particularly in complex cases. The system includes a verification layer to link AI-generated responses to primary sources, reducing the risk of hallucinations. While the platform currently has a few hundred users, Dizon plans to expand its capabilities, including adding AI tools to explain specific legal provisions and making the platform available in Philippine languages. He also advocates for integrating AI into legal education and developing a national legal AI strategy for the Philippines.
