The Department of Law of the Faculty of Law, Economics and Finance is pleased to invite you to this CRIM_AI conference.

Abstract

This conference is dedicated to presenting the findings of the CRIM_AI project, an initiative launched in October 2021 and set to conclude in February 2025, funded by the Luxembourg National Research Fund. The project investigates whether existing criminal procedure rules, particularly evidence law and procedural safeguards, adequately address the unique challenges and risks associated with AI. Its aim is to identify potential gaps in the current regulatory frameworks and propose policy recommendations, at both national and supranational levels. The conference will bring together the project participants and distinguished experts from academia, institutions, and professional practice to analyse and discuss the European and international initiatives related to AI, as well as how different national jurisdictions are responding to the use of AI evidence in criminal proceedings.
