Call for Papers – 2023 Law and Technology Conference

We are delighted to announce that the Asian Law Schools Association (ALSA) in collaboration with the NYCU School of Law, Taiwan will be hosting an international conference on "Emerging Technologies, Social Change, and Legal Innovation" on 2-3 December 2023, at the Guangfu Campus in Hsinchu, Taiwan. The conference aims to explore the complex interplay between emerging technologies, social change, and legal innovation. In the past few decades, we have seen the rapid development and deployment of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, fintech, blockchain, and regenerative medicine, which have had a significant impact on society. As a result, laws and regulations have been struggling to keep up with the pace of technological innovation. This conference aims to explore the legal implications of these emerging technologies and examine the ways in which laws can be adapted to meet the challenges posed by technological advancements.

We invite scholars from various disciplines, including law, technology, management, policy, and science, technology, and society (STS), including young scholars and doctoral students, to submit abstracts for papers that explore the impact of emerging technologies on law, society, and governance. The conference will offer a platform for interdisciplinary discussions and an opportunity for participants to share their research, experiences, and ideas on this important topic.

The topics may include, but are not limited to:

Innovative technology and legal education

Social Impact of Generative AI and digital technology

Trustable AI

Cybersecurity

Algorithmic governance and digital citizenship

Neuroscience and law

Digital platform

Biomedical innovation

Digital labor and human rights

National security and technology regulation

Digital trade

Climate change and sustainable development

Smart cities and intelligent transportation systems

Technology and public health

Data sharing and governance

Aging society and technological response

Submissions from scholars, practitioners, policymakers, and experts from various disciplines and regions, as well as collaborative and interdisciplinary contributions, are highly encouraged.

The conference provides an excellent opportunity for participants to engage in scholarly exchange, networking, and collaboration, and to visit Taiwan, a vibrant and dynamic country that has been at the forefront of innovation in technology and law. As home to Hsinchu, the "Silicon Valley of Taiwan," and the core of the chip war, the city of Hsinchu is known as the semiconductor capital of the world.

We encourage you to submit your proposals and join us for what promises to be an exciting and thought-provoking conference.
