Critical Perspectives on AI: Security, Governance, Labor and the Environment
SATURDAY FEBRUARY 28, 2026
The symposium will focus on the role and impact of artificial intelligence in four primary areas: national security, private governance, labor, and the environment. Each of these topics will be addressed from an international legal perspective. Our distinguished panelists will engage in thought-provoking discussions on: (1) AI and National Security, (2) AI and Private Governance, and (3) AI and Labor and the Environment. The program will also feature a special presentation: “Should AI Write Your Constitution?”
