Session details
While the gender gap in data is not always life threatening, the design and use of artificial intelligence models in different industries can significantly disadvantage women’s lives. And while there is agreement that lots of good data can indeed help close gender gaps, there remain concerns that if the “right” questions are not being asked in the data collection process (including by women), gender gaps can actually widen when algorithms are misinformed. This not only has negative impacts on women, but also on business and economies.
In roundtable discussions, this breakfast explores measures aimed at ensuring that the use of AI systems does not lead to discrimination, how women litigators can be thought leaders in this field and how legal tech can drive diversity, efficiency, and winning.
It is open to all; litigators of all genders are warmly invited to participate and debate.

This session intends to find out how a victim seeking compensation under national fault-based liability rules (eg, for harm not covered by any strict liability regime such as infringements of fundamental rights or claims against users of products rather than against the manufacturer) and the claim-related damages caused by an AI system, an AI Act, in particular, but not limited to the proposed European AI Liability Directive, could, on certain conditions, help claimants overcome the difficulties they might otherwise face because of the opacity of the AI system involved.
