Data Science & Law Forum – 5th Edition

Responsible AI for Human Ingenuity

For the past five years, the Data Science & Law Forum has been a platform for experts and stakeholders from various fields to exchange ideas and shape responsible AI development and deployment practices. This year's fifth edition coincides with a critical inflection point in AI, as technological breakthroughs are poised to have a profound impact on society.

The Data Science & Law Forum will explore the geopolitical complexities of AI competitiveness from various perspectives, including start-ups, venture capitalists, futurologists, and representatives of governments and international organizations. Human-centric AI remains at the heart of the Data Science & Law Forum.

We will examine how generative AI can augment human creativity and productivity, address potential risks to fairness, welfare and equity, investigate human-machine interactions, and discuss advances in multi-modal models.
