Call for Submissions: Technology and (Dis)Trust AI between confidence and controversy, 2-3 October 2025
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 not only inform automation but also 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 greater role in fostering confidence in digital ecosystems?
The two-day conference will feature inspiring keynote speeches, panel discussions and opportunities for networking 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.
