The benefits and challenges of #AI are seemingly unavoidable in society today. After all, technology is both a catalyst and a threat to #globalisation. It thus raises particular issues such as job displacement, #inequality and the digital divide, privacy and security concerns, fragmentation, nationalism, and cultural homogenisation.
And lawyers have an essential role to play in that conversation. By leveraging their expertise in law and regulation, they help shape a legal framework that supports a balanced and inclusive approach to globalisation in the digital era.
What will the future look like? We will discuss in one pillar of our upcoming 62nd AIJA Annual Congress in Madrid, set for 3 - 7 September 2024. #MAD4aija
