DESCRIPTION:Autonomy\, Control and Responsibility \nArtificial intelligen
 ce and machine decision-making are fundamentally changing law and society.
  While these technologies offer immense opportunities for more efficient d
 ecisions\, they simultaneously pose risks to individual freedoms and raise
  profound questions about legitimacy. \nAlthough there is a growing wealt
 h of literature on the specific consequences of AI\, there has been a crit
 ical lack of systematic investigation into how machine decision-making aff
 ects the fundamental functions of law in modern societies and the role of 
 legal scholarship. \nTo mark the end of its first year of research\, the 
 DFG Research Unit 5906 is addressing exactly this gap. The conference\, ta
 king place from 11th to 12th March 2027 in Münster\, will focus on the co
 re concepts of autonomy\, control and responsibility. Connecting research 
 questions will be analysed beyond traditional disciplinary boundaries\, fo
 stering an interdisciplinary exchange with computer science\, philosophy\,
  sociology and economics. \nThe research unit is looking forward to contr
 ibutions from the following international experts: \n\nMareike Schmidt\, 
 University of Hamburg\nIgnacio Cofone\, University of Oxford\nSille Obelit
 z Søe\, University of Copenhagen\nMareile Kaufmann\, University of Oslo\n
 Miriam Buiten\, University of St. Gallen\n\n \nBeyond the aforementioned 
 contributions\, the conference program will feature further presentations
  from early-career researchers. Our Call for Papers is currently open unti
 l 30th September 2026.\nIf you have any questions\, please contact the res
 earch unit's spokesperson\, Prof. Dr. Stefan Arnold\, LLM. (Cambridge): s
