The 1st Doctoral Workshop on Law, Society and Artificial Intelligence invites PhD candidates to explore the intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Law and Society.

The workshop explores the growing impact of Artificial Intelligence on society from a legal, technical and ethical standpoint, underlying the existing relationship between the technical and social aspects of AI research and deployment, as it aims to foster a multidisciplinary discussion on the implications of AI for society and the law.

Legal scholars grapple with the ethical and juridical implications of increasingly autonomous AI systems, particularly concerning decision-making processes and potential biases within algorithms, within a rapidly evolving field of research. Legal frameworks are being reevaluated to address issues of liability and accountability in a world where AI plays an ever-more prominent role, facing issues in human-computer interaction, accountability, explainability and ethics.

We invite and welcome submissions of original, unpublished abstracts that explore the domain of Law, AI and Society. A series of suggested research themes are present to foster a varied and multifaceted discussion.

Topics

Relevant abstracts cover one or more of the following topics:

• Ethical, legal, and social issues in human-computer interaction.
• Automation and accountability in AI-based decision-making.
• Civil and criminal liability for AI-based systems.
• Explainable, interpretable, and transparent AI.
• Impact of general-purpose AI models.
• Legal and ethical frameworks for AI governance.
• The development and deployment of AI in the legal domain.
• AI for Democracy and Legislative Action.
• AI, User Experience (UX) and User Interface (UI) design.
