    30 - The Impact of AI: Are Existing Laws Enough?

    Tune in to episode 30 of The Litigation Podcast: The Impact of AI: Are Existing Laws Enough?  AI-powered automated systems are rapidly reshaping decision-making across sectors. In this episode, the panel examines whether current legal frameworks are sufficiently robust and adaptable to meet the challenges this poses. The discussion addresses two core issues: the right to a human decision and the legal implications of automated decision-making by public authorities and private entities. It then assesses how these challenges are already playing out in practice across both the public and private sectors. The panel asks: do we need new legal safeguards, or can existing laws rise to the occasion?  The seminar was chaired by James Segan KC, Blackstone Chambers, and the episode includes:  Jeremias Adams-Prassl, Professor of Law & Associate Dean (Research), Oxford University, Blackstone Chambers Academic Panel Member Joe Tomlinson, Professor of Administrative Law at the Dickson Poon School of Law, King's College London, Blackstone Chambers Academic Panel Member Ravi Mehta, Blackstone Chambers Ava Mayer, Blackstone Chambers Hugo Murphy, Blackstone Chambers

    Welcome to episode 28 of the Blackstone Chambers Litigation Podcast: Litigating War - Ukraine v Russia 2025. This session followed the European Court of Human Rights Grand Chamber judgment of 9 July 2025 in which the Grand Chamber revisited its case law on jurisdiction and held Russia responsible for “an unprecedented and flagrant attack on the fundamental values of the Council of Europe” and for widespread violations of the Convention across Ukraine dating back to 2014 and embracing all aspects of the full-scale invasion launched in February 2022. The judgment has been described by a former President of the Court as the greatest in the 65 year history of the Court. The session was chaired by Tim Otty KC, leading counsel for Ukraine, with speakers including Tom Richards KC, Naina Patel KC, Jason Pobjoy KC, George Molyneaux and Isabel Buchanan, all of whom were also part of Ukraine’s counsel team.
