Conference: Converging Realms: Law, Technology, and Society in the Age of Ethical and Multi-Agent AI
For an AI-focused exchange and dialogue between policy makers, the private sector, academia and a wider civil society.
“Converging Realms: Law, Technology, and Society in the Age of Ethical and Multi-Agent AI” is an international conference that brings together scholars, practitioners, civil society and policymakers from around Europe to explore the ethical questions, practical challenges and opportunities surrounding artificial intelligence.
With a focus on navigating the complex intersections of law, technology, and their impact on the socially relevant sectors, the conference offers an interdisciplinary deep dive into the specificities of AI applications in research, culture and education, justice and privacy. It will delve into the transformative impact of AI applications on labour dynamics, skills development and ownership paradigms.
Two days in Kraków will be filled with critical discussions, knowledge sharing, and collaborative and innovative problem-solving as we shape the future of integral AI ethics, governance and its applications.
The conference is co-organised by the Future Law Lab (FLL) at the Jagiellonian University and the Centrum Cyfrowe Foundation (FCC). FLL supports research, fosters expertise, and conducts education and networking activities devoted to the intersections of law, empirical sciences and new technologies. Its mission is to help scholars and the society face the challenges arising in the dynamically evolving world. FCC is a think and do tank supporting openness and engagement in the digital world by changing the way people learn, participate in culture, use the internet and exercise their rights as internet users.
The conference will be held onsite, in English.
