We anticipate a plenary panel to open the conference focusing specifically on the impact of AI on human rights. We also welcome paper proposals that explore other legal and interdisciplinary topics relating to AI and human rights. We will organize selected papers into several concurrent panels.
Paper proposals are invited on any topic that explores AI and human rights issues.
To submit a proposal, please email a paper abstract (one to two pages) and CV to the Director of Global Legal Education, Dr. Upendra Acharya, at [email protected].
