Description 

The Winter School on AI & Justice, jointly hosted by Sciences Po Law School and Sorbonne University, offers an immersive exploration of the profound transformations artificial intelligence is bringing to the concepts and practices of justice. Rather than confining its inquiry to the judicial sphere, the programme interrogates justice in its broadest sense—encompassing the social ramifications of AI-infused public policies, the emergence of new regulatory paradigms, and the reconfiguration of legal phenomena in response to technological innovation. Participants will engage with leading scholars and practitioners whose expertise spans AI ethics, legal theory, digital governance, and social policy, fostering a dialogue that critically examines how algorithmic systems are reshaping norms of fairness, accountability, and rights protection in contemporary societies.

Enriching the academic experience, the Winter School features a dynamic legal hackathon, challenging participants to devise innovative solutions to real-world issues at the intersection of law and artificial intelligence. Thanks to a partnership with Clifford Chance, this initiative will lead to an exclusive internship offer for one outstanding student.
