Workshop on Law-Following AI 2026

The Workshop on Law-Following AI 2026 is a two-day event dedicated to exploring the design of agentic AI systems that adhere to human laws. Hosted by the Institute for Law & AI (LawAI) and the Leverhulme Centre for the Future of Intelligence (CFI) at Cambridge University, this workshop aims to catalyze research at the intersection of law and artificial intelligence.

Key topics include determining which laws AI systems should follow, the rigor of adherence required, decision-making processes for assessing potential legal violations, and contexts where law-following AI is essential. The workshop features presentations and discussions from scholars in law and AI, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration.

Attendees can expect networking opportunities, including an optional welcome dinner on the evening of June 10. The event is open to scholars from law, AI, and related fields interested in the design of law-following AI systems. Meals are provided, and financial assistance for travel and accommodation is available for those whose institutions cannot cover these costs.

This workshop is ideal for legal scholars, technologists, and policymakers seeking to understand and contribute to the development of AI systems that comply with legal standards, ensuring safe deployment in high-stakes domains while maintaining legal accountability and public trust.
