Worldwide, the technological landscape is today largely driven by what seems to be an exponential development of Artificial Intelligence tools, based on powerful algorithms and known as “systems”.   Some say that we are facing the “most profound human revolution in history”.  In this new landscape, new issues are beginning to emerge, including the fundamental question of regulation.  Should AI systems be regulated, and if so, how?  In this Main Theme morning session, three discussion panels will analyze the issues, from both generalist and specialist perspectives.  A first, multidisciplinary panel of international experts will examine the philosophical and socio-economic underpinnings of any regulation of Artificial Intelligence as the most technologically-advanced tool that mankind has ever used on a broad scale.   This will lead to a second panel, involving a round table discussion about their respective regulatory objectives by representatives and experts of the world’s leading economic blocs (United States of America, European Union, China).  Finally, a third panel will take a deep dive into  the considerable changes in process and procedure in judicial litigation and arbitration which may result from the use of  generative AI systems as virtual legal “assistants” by litigators:  A new “eldorado” for litigators?  Is there a need to revise the rules of litigation to take generative AI tools into account?
