IE Law School participates in a global discussion led by the World Legal Summit

IE Law School will join a global discussion in an event organized by the World Legal Summit that aims to connect more than 25 jurisdictions simultaneously to discuss legislative frameworks needed for the sustainable evolution of technology, and emergent global systems

The World Legal Summit (WLS) is a new organization that seeks to create a global regulatory framework for the use and future development of transformative technology, from AI and automation, to smart contracts and blockchain, and beyond.

While the main focus won’t be just legal tech, the input will be heavily informed by legal, regulatory and ethics experts. This new collaborative space has an ‘United Nations’ approach to global technology regulation and seeks to attract input from regulatory and tech ethics initiatives around the world, leading to collaboration and some form of global understanding on key issues.
