We are thrilled to announce the second edition of the “Lawtomation Days” conference on the shifting legal landscape of automated decision-making and artificial intelligence. This cross-disciplinary conference will bring together academics from diverse fields to discuss the opportunities and challenges raised by these impactful technologies across different areas of law and in a wide range of sectors.

While well-designed ADM and AI systems can bring many benefits, such as increased efficiency, capacity and growth, it also raises important legal questions about their transparency, accountability and fairness. This requires careful consideration and analysis, beyond traditional thematic clusters and field-specific approaches. We are convinced that it is of utmost importance to consider their sociolegal and societal implications and ensure that such systems are used to pursue benign, responsible, lawful and ethical goals.

The two-day conference will provide a cutting-edge forum for academics, researchers and experts to discuss the promises and perils of ADM and AI. It will feature prominent keynote speeches and panel discussions, as well as ample opportunities for networking and knowledge exchange, including during social events.

Interested participants are encouraged to submit an abstract of no more than 500 words via the dedicated online form. Abstracts must be written in English. The deadline for submission is Thursday, 15 June 2023.
