The regulation of Artificial Intelligence is at an important stage, with the European Union taking the lead through key legislative frameworks such as the AI Act (AIA) and the Digital Services Act (DSA). These regulations aim to create a safer and more accountable digital environment while safeguarding fundamental rights. However, while the European Union has outlined a clear direction in terms of regulation, their practical implementation remains an open challenge. In particular, the interaction between these two frameworks requires closer examination to understand how they address the risks AI poses to fundamental rights, such as privacy, non-discrimination, and freedom of expression.
The primary objective of this workshop is to provide the community with a deeper understanding of the AIA and DSA, their implications for AI development and deployment, and their alignment with human rights principles. Through dedicated discussion sessions and keynote speakers, we aim to critically analyze what these regulations achieve and the new challenges they pose from an implementation perspective. A key focus of the workshop will be to explore how these regulations can be made operational, identifying the tools and technologies required to support their implementation and defining the objectives these tools should address.
The workshop will be held in person. The venue is Aula Magna Storica, in Pisa University’s Sapienza building (Via Curtatone e Montanara 15; more information in the conference website).
The post-proceedings of IAIL 2025 the Imagining the AI Landscape After the AI ACT, in conjunction with HHAI2025, Pisa, Italy, will be published on CEUR Workshop Proceedings
Get Started!Papers are welcome from academics, researchers, practitioners, postgraduate students, private sector, and anyone else with an interest in law and technology. Submissions with an interdisciplinary orientation are particularly welcome, e.g. works at the boundary between ML, AI, human-computer interaction, law, and ethics. Submitted applications can include regular papers, short papers, working papers and/or extended abstracts.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
We are open to diverse methodological approaches such as quantitative, qualitative, and computational methods.
Papers intended to foster discussion and exchange of ideas are welcome from academics, researchers, practitioners, postgraduate students, private sector, and anyone else with an interest in law and technology.
Submissions with an interdisciplinary orientation are particularly welcome, e.g. works at the boundary between machine learning, AI, human-computer interaction, law, digital philosopher, and ethics.
We encourage authors to submit both research papers and position papers. Research papers present completed and validated research, whereas position papers present an arguable opinion about one of the workshop topics of interest. Both types of contribution can be of regular (12+ pages) or short length (5+ pages) and should be original, previously unpublished work.
We also encourage authors to submit extended abstracts that present a very early stage of research or previously published work. This latter type of contributions will not be published in the proceedings.
The typical paper length for each type of contribution is described in the previous paragraph. However, there is no strict rule regarding a maximum page limit, authors are encouraged to submit a paper of length proportional to its contribution.
All submitted papers will be peer reviewed using double-blind peer review. We accept both LaTeX and Word files formatted according to CEUR-WS format. You can find the LaTeX templates at this link too.
Please ensure that your submission is anonymous. Authors are expected to remove author and
institutional identities from the title and header areas of the paper. Authors should also remove
any information in the acknowledgements section that reveals authors or the institution. Finally,
authors are required to cite their own work in the third person.
Note: Papers that violate the
anonymization policy will be desk rejected.
The post-proceedings of IAIL 2025 the Imagining the AI Landscape After the AI ACT, in conjunction with HHAI2025, Pisa, Italy will be pulished on CEUR Workshop Proceedings
Electronic submissions will be handled via Easychair.
Authors who submit their work to IAIL2025 commit themselves to present their paper at the workshop in case of acceptance. IAIL2025 considers the author list submitted with the paper as final. No additions or deletions to this list may be made after paper submission, either during the review period, or in case of acceptance, at the final camera ready stage.
Papers must be written in English.
Condition for inclusion in the workshop proceedings is that at least one of the co-authors has presented the paper at the workshop.
Please note that, in case of short paper or extended abstract, we reserve the right to ask you to prepare a poster instead of a standard presentation.
