Technology and (Dis)Trust
AI between confidence and controversy

As technology shifts the focus from retrospective justice to preemptive control, from deliberation to optimization, and from state power to private influence, trust becomes an ever more contested terrain—at once constructed, eroded and renegotiated across multiple domains of law.

This year, the fourth edition of the IE Lawtomation Days seeks to explore the effectiveness and limits of regulation through the lens of trust. How can legal frameworks sustain trustworthiness in AI-driven decision-making and digital governance? How can law inform automation and ensure faith in the institutions and mechanisms it establishes? Is law the most appropriate tool to build trust, or should other mechanisms, such as ethics, corporate responsibility and technical safeguards, play a more significant role in fostering confidence in digital ecosystems?

The two-day conference will feature inspiring keynote speeches, panel discussions, networking opportunities, and cross-generational and cross-disciplinary exchange, including chilling social events. Over the years, the IE Lawtomation Days have become a flagship initiative in the international community, known for their high-quality contributions, friendly atmosphere, collegial environment and the richness of intellectual exchanges. Participants in the previous editions have recognized this conference as a not-to-miss opportunity that fosters meaningful connections.
