Event Details
The Right to Fair Trial in the Age of AI: Current challenges and next steps
There are genuine concerns about how to have fair trials in the age of AI. AI tools are developing rapidly, but they are not yet a substitute for qualified legal reasoning, human judgment, or tailored legal advice. At the same time, many judges and counsel are deploying AI in their preparation and execution of proceedings, often without formal oversight and training. In this webinar, we will draw upon research in multiple jurisdictions to consider the potential benefits of AI in enhancing efficiency and access to justice as well as the guardrails that are needed to ensure the upholding of international standards of due process.
About the speaker: Professor Philippa Webb is Professor of Public International Law at the Blavatnik School of Government and a Fellow of Exeter College. She is the Director of the Oxford Institute of Technology and Justice, which is launching in October 2025. Philippa is also a barrister at Twenty Essex and has appeared in domestic and international courts, including the International Court of Justice, the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea, the European Court of Human Rights and the UK Supreme Court. Previously, she held positions in the Presidency of the International Court of Justice, the Office of the Prosecutor at the International Criminal Court and in United Nations Headquarters. Her publications include The Right to a Fair Trial in International Law (2021, with A Clooney).
Chaired by Prof Yvonne McDermott Rees.
