Conference: Swan song of the anthropocentric administration in Europe

Are we witnessing the swan song of anthropocentric administration in Europe? The future of public administration in the era of artificial intelligence will be discussed at the Law Faculty in Prague

On November 27-28, 2025, an international conference will be held at the Prague Faculty of Law, which will be dedicated to the future of public administration in the era of artificial intelligence. In addition to academics from the Prague Faculty of Law, the conference will also feature academicians from Italy, Germany, Switzerland and Spain. The detailed program and registration form can be found here: https://law.prf.cuni.cz/ai-public-sector/. The conference is organised within the framework of the 4 EU+ project “Europe: A Laboratory of a Digital State”.

The conference will open on November 27, 2025 with the presentation of the newly published book by Prof. Diana-Uranie Galleta from the Milan Law Faculty entitled "Artificial Intelligence and Public Administration: A Journey" (Editoriale Scientifica, Napoli, 2025).

This will be followed by three panels, dedicated to:

1. new legal regulations on the use of artificial intelligence in public administration (moderated by Prof. Galetta),

2. current practice in the application of artificial intelligence abroad (moderated by Prof. Oscar Capdeferro Villagrasa from the Barcelona Law School) and

3. the future of the use of artificial intelligence in public administration (moderated by Prof. Jacques Ziller, emeritus professor at Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne).

Will robots replace civil servants in the near future? And can we expect faster, more efficient and fairer decision-making from civil servants - robots, than from human civil servants? These questions will also be addressed by individual presentations at the November conference.

Written versions of the contributions will be published in 2026 in the Milanese journal Ceridap (https://ceridap.eu/).

We cordially invite all supporters of modern administrative law and artificial intelligence!

The conference will take place within the framework of the 4 EU+ project
