About

Floris Bex is a leading researcher at the intersection of artificial intelligence, argumentation theory, and legal reasoning. His work is perhaps best known for pioneering the integration of AI with Robotic Process Automation (RPA), as outlined in his highly cited 2021 conceptual framework, which provides a roadmap for augmenting RPA with AI to handle complex, knowledge-intensive tasks. Beyond automation, Bex has made foundational contributions to computational models of argument, particularly in the context of evidential reasoning and narrative coherence, helping to formalize how stories and evidence are used in legal and investigative settings. His research has garnered significant attention, with several of his papers on argumentation and AI receiving hundreds of citations, reflecting their impact on both computer science and law. A professor at Utrecht University, Bex is also known for his work on hybrid intelligence, where he explores how humans and AI systems can collaborate effectively. His achievements include leading interdisciplinary projects that bridge AI, law, and logic, making him a key figure in developing transparent and explainable AI systems.
