About the Seminar

The rapid development of Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Internet and emerging digital technologies is transforming governance, commerce, healthcare, education, employment and social interaction worldwide. While these developments create opportunities for innovation and inclusion, they also raise complex legal and ethical questions concerning privacy, cybersecurity, human rights, accountability and regulatory governance.

The International Seminar aims to bring together academicians, legal practitioners, researchers, policymakers, technologists, students and other stakeholders to examine the evolving relationship between law, AI and the Internet from global, comparative and interdisciplinary perspectives.

The seminar will provide a platform for academic discussions on emerging regulatory approaches, technological developments and the protection of human rights in the digital age.
