Her book, Artificial Legal Intelligence, was published in the UK in 1997. She held a Visiting Fellowship in Law at Hughes Hall, Cambridge University, UK in 1989 during which time she collaborated with Machine Intelligence in the first ESPRIT legal project, to develop a prototype legal expert system.

For the next three years her son, Xenogene Gray who is a computational physicist, programmed the eGanges system as a new generation, user-friendly, expert system shell with transparency and interactive visualisation of the expert rule system.
