Call for Papers: 7th International Conference (IC-2027) on AI and Constitutionalism at IPEM Law Academy, Ghaziabad [Hybrid; 29-30 Jan 2027]

IPEM Law Academy Ghaziabad is organising the 7th International Conference on AI and Constitutionalism: Safeguarding Rights in an Automated Society (IC-2027), under the aegis of its Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC). It is held in hybrid mode, on campus at IPEM Ghaziabad and online, on 29 & 30 January, 2027.

The rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the way societies function, governments operate, justice is delivered and individuals interact with technology. From automated decision-making and algorithmic governance to generative AI, facial recognition, predictive technologies and AI-assisted dispute resolution, the growing integration of AI into public and private life presents both opportunities and complex constitutional challenges. The conference provides a multidisciplinary platform for examining the relationship between Artificial Intelligence, constitutional governance, fundamental rights, democracy, justice, ethics and the rule of law.

It aims to critically examine whether existing constitutional frameworks are adequately equipped to regulate emerging AI technologies and, where necessary, to explore rights-based, accountable, transparent and human-centric AI governance frameworks. A particular focus is the impact of AI on constitutional rights and democratic institutions, including privacy, equality, freedom of speech and expression, access to justice, due process, non-discrimination and human dignity, along with algorithmic bias, automated governmental decisions, surveillance technologies, deepfakes, digital profiling and the use of AI in law enforcement and judicial processes.
