Artificial Intelligence: Applications, Academic and Practical Legal Implications

Artificial intelligence (AI) is deemed as the latest development of cognitive technology in recent years, with rapid, widespread, and influential growth. The scope of its use has expanded to include various fields, especially law and higher legal education, both of which profited from the revolutionary impact of AI technology. They both comprise a platform for teaching and development of ideas, theories, competencies, and leadership skills, as well as for providing a foresight of the future and developing solutions to deal with forthcoming challenges. While this type of intelligence offers exciting new opportunities and enhances people’s lives. It simultaneously raises complex legal issues surrounding its use, regulation, control, accountability, and oversight that must be addressed.

In light of these considerations, and as part of its commitment to providing legal jurisprudence solutions to contemporary issues, Kuwait International Law School (KILAW) has decided to devote its tenth annual international academic conference to researching the legal problems posed by artificial intelligence, under the title: “Artificial Intelligence: Applications, Academic and Practical Legal Implications” on 1-2 May 2024.

KILAW is honored to invite legal researchers from various Arab and international law schools and universities, and members of the judiciary to participate with new, qualitative, and distinguished research papers. The research should be based on critical and comparative study and should represent an added value in any of the proposed topics.

KILAW will cover the transportation and accommodation expenses for researchers whose research paper is accepted.
