30 - The Impact of AI: Are Existing Laws Enough?

Tune in to episode 30 of The Litigation Podcast: The Impact of AI: Are Existing Laws Enough? AI-powered automated systems are rapidly reshaping decision-making across sectors. In this episode, the panel examines whether current legal frameworks are sufficiently robust and adaptable to meet the challenges this poses. The discussion addresses two core issues: the right to a human decision and the legal implications of automated decision-making by public authorities and private entities. It then assesses how these challenges are already playing out in practice across both the public and private sectors. The panel asks: do we need new legal safeguards, or can existing laws rise to the occasion? The seminar was chaired by James Segan KC, Blackstone Chambers, and the episode includes: Jeremias Adams-Prassl, Professor of Law & Associate Dean (Research), Oxford University, Blackstone Chambers Academic Panel Member Joe Tomlinson, Professor of Administrative Law at the Dickson Poon School of Law, King's College London, Blackstone Chambers Academic Panel Member Ravi Mehta, Blackstone Chambers Ava Mayer, Blackstone Chambers Hugo Murphy, Blackstone Chambers
