Invited by the Gdańsk Bar and AEA-EAL, President C. M. Chan attended the second edition of the International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Cybersecurity in Gdynia, Poland, from 16 to 17 November 2023. Themed “Business. Algorithm. Law”, the Conference discussed the legal and business implications of artificial intelligence (“AI”) and cybersecurity, alongside the challenges they pose to businesses and legal professionals in a rapidly evolving technological landscape.
The President had the privilege of delivering an opening speech at the Conference to give an overview of the principle of “One Country, Two Systems”. He also highlighted the Law Society’s efforts in promoting LawTech and supporting its members in overcoming the transformative impact of AI and cybersecurity on the legal industry.
