On October 3–4, 2024 Tallinn University will host an international conference titled “The Death of Law? Machines, Technology, and Algorithms Deciding,”
where the role of technology and artificial intelligence (AI) in the future of lawmaking and justice will be discussed.
Experts from Europe and America will share their knowledge and research on whether machines and algorithms could create and manage law in the future, potentially replacing human decision-makers.
According to the conference’s lead organizer, professor Massimo La Torre, the development and application of technology, including AI, raise questions about the ethical and legal consequences, as well as its social impact.
“Law created by algorithms no longer addresses free-willed individuals who have the option to follow or interpret rules differently. Instead, it treats people as subordinated subjects without freedom of choice.
This could mean the end of law as a system based on liberty, which we have followed for centuries,” explains professor La Torre.
The conference offers an opportunity to hear from renowned scholars about how technology and the legal field are becoming intertwined, and what the long-term implications of this shift might be.
Among the speakers are Giuliano Amato, Roger Brownsword, Gerald J. Postema, José Ignacio Solar Cayón and Jaan Aru.
The conference is open to all who are interested in the interactions between law, technology, and AI, including legal scholars, practitioners, policymakers, and students.
It will provide a platform for constructive discussions to understand the future directions of legal systems.
The conference is part of Tallinn University’s Global Forum series, aimed at promoting international cooperation and critical dialogue.
