Hildebrandt speaks on the role of human oversight in the AI Act (8 July 2021)

The Institute for Digital Law Trier (IRDT) of the University of Trier brings together experts in the international and interdisciplinary online conference concerning the EU Commission’s proposal of an Artificial Intelligence Act of 21 April 2021, to discuss the following questions, among others:

Does the Act reflect a proper understanding of the technical and normative challenges posed by AI? Does it strike the right balance between limiting risks from AI and enabling its reasonable use? How suitable are the proposed legal instruments to regulate AI? What is the relationship between the AI Act and other EU laws such as the GDPR? Is it useful to grant the Commission the power to expand the scope of the Act by amending the Annex? What would this AI regulation mean for the ‘competition of systems’ between the EU, the US and China?

Mireille Hildebrandt will speak on the role of human oversight in the AI Act.

Post-Project Output: The Special Issue on ‘THE FUTURE OF COMPUTATIONAL LAW’

 28 May 2024 ▪

For the second CRCL Conference (CRCL23) in Brussels we invited a small number of key authors in the domain of computational ‘law’ to present their position on the future of code- and data-driven legal technologies. Their salient papers provide a research agenda for further development and integration of these technologies, including keen attention to the education and training of lawyers and computer scientists, the impact on access to justice, Rule of Law checks and balances, the need for targeted instead of general ‘solutions’ and an analysis of what the integration of AI in legal practice can and cannot achieve. The papers, by thought leaders across the spectrum of both law and computer science, have now been published in the Journal of Cross-Disciplinary Research in Computational Law, in this special issue.
