On Thursday 26 November Professor Andrew Murray joined us online to deliver his lecture'Almost human: law and human agency in the time of artificial intelligence.' More than five hundred people from all over the world watched the sixth Annual T.M.C. Asser Lecture. A recording of the lecture is now available on our Youtube page. Artificial intelligence (AI) is all around us: from the smartphones in our hands to drone strikes thousands of miles away. While this technology has many benefits such as simplifying complex data and making daily tasks easier, it also has dangerous implications.

Registration is open for our highly successful Winter Academy on Artificial Intelligence and International Law. In the second edition of this unique and innovative training, you will get the latest insights into current and future issues raised by AI from the perspective of international law. The Winter Academy offers you foundational knowledge on key issues at the interface of international law and artificial intelligence, and provides a platform for critical debate and engagement on emerging questions. The programme is structured along five themes: Understanding AI, AI for good, AI and armed conflict, AI and responsibility, and AI governance. The Winter Academy includes lectures that address both technical and legal aspects of artificial intelligence, and will alternate theoretical and more practical perspectives.
