Law and Change

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is touted as the remedy for many of the economic, social, political and cultural contentions in an epoch where social demographics are unbalance, economic growth is slowing, labour markets are fragile, and global trade is wracked with protectionism.

The arrival of the pandemic has heightened calls for AI and big data to help innovate economies out of the worst. This transition presents significant challenges for the ecosystems of law firms, and the requirements of due process in the exercise of litigation.

Law Goes Virtual

Digital technologies are transforming nearly every aspect of economic, social, and legal life. The growing power of global technology companies, the rise of data-driven economies, and the expansion of virtual environments are reshaping markets, property, identity, governance, and even international humanitarian law. Conventional legal concepts—such as ownership, jurisdiction, accountability, and community—are increasingly strained by AI-mediated decision-making, digital assets, virtual platforms, and emerging forms of online interaction.

Law Goes Virtual, an initiative within BIICL's Law and Change programme, responds to these developments by examining how law can remain effective, legitimate, and adaptable in digitally integrated societies. The initiative explores how legal frameworks must evolve as technologies reshape legal institutions, practices, and understandings of rights and obligations.
