National Law University Delhi successfully conducted the Indo-German Conference on “AI in Law: Navigating Regulation, Ethics, and Accountability” on 30 October 2026 at its campus.
The conference was jointly organised by the Max Planck Society, the University of Cologne, and the Hertie School, in collaboration with National Law University Delhi, and co-funded by the German Centre for Research and Innovation (DWIH) New Delhi.
Across the day, panelists from academia, the regulatory community, the Bar and civil society engaged with five interrelated themes:
* Ethical, Constitutional & Regulatory Dimensions of AI in Law
* AI in Legal Research & Practice
* Digital Courts, Judicial Automation & Innovations in Justice Delivery
* Data Governance, Transparency & Market Concentration
* Intellectual Property, AI-Literacy & AI-Generated Works
The deliberations fostered a rich interdisciplinary Indo-German dialogue on the transformative role of Artificial Intelligence in legal systems.
