The rapid development and adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) and other digital technologies are transforming the way legal systems, government agencies, businesses, and individuals operate. These developments present significant opportunities to improve access to justice, enhance the efficiency of legal and administrative processes, and support more informed decision-making.

At the same time, they raise fundamental questions regarding trust, accountability, security, fundamental rights, and the appropriate limits of technological innovation. The panel will explore how the law should respond to the growing use of AI in the legal and public sectors, while ensuring that technological progress remains consistent with the principles of the rule of law, human rights, and democratic governance.

Particular attention will be paid to the allocation of responsibility for decisions and actions involving AI systems, including issues of accountability, transparency, explainability, and human oversight.

Key topics will include the regulation and governance of AI, the use of AI in the justice system and legal practice, accountability for AI-assisted decision-making, the protection of privacy and personal data, cybersecurity, and the impact of digitalization on freedom and other fundamental rights.

The discussion will also examine how courts and government agencies can adapt their practices and institutional frameworks to an increasingly digital environment. Particular attention will be paid to the practical challenges of translating new legal and ethical principles into effective regulatory and institutional mechanisms.

The main goal of the panel is to foster a forward-looking discussion on how legal systems can create a reliable and accountable framework for the use of artificial intelligence, while ensuring a responsible digital transformation.

The expected outcome is a set of practical ideas for policymakers, judges, lawyers, government agencies, and other stakeholders on how to strengthen trust, accountability, the protection of rights, and legal certainty in the age of artificial intelligence.
