Call for Papers! LAWTOMATION DAYS! 3rd Edition! 26-27 September 2024! IE University – Madrid!
THEME
computing the law, regulating the algorithm the transformative power of digital ecosystems
In 2021, IE University Law School envisioned a new platform for cutting-edge research, teaching, training and dissemination on the impact of automation on the law, individuals and society. In 2022, the IE “Lawtomation” Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence was established to convene scholars from various disciplines to explore the opportunities and challenges presented by technological advancements across numerous legal domains and sectors.
The inception phase of the Centre culminated in the organization of the first edition of the IE “Lawtomation Days” in September 2022. More than one hundred researchers, practitioners and students joined us in Madrid to ignite a scholarly yet accessible conversation on the relationship between law and automation, as well as the effects of algorithms on constitutional values, human rights, workplace practices and legal remedies. In 2023, the second conference edition hosted an even larger group of speakers presenting their works on the promises and perils of automated decision-making (ADM) and artificial intelligence (AI).
