Rights, Remedies and AI Jurisprudence: Upholding Justice, Rule of Law and Human Rights in the Age of Agentic AI

Monday, September 24, 2026
12:00-2:00 p.m. (ET)
Convene, 101 Park Avenue, NY, 10017

Agentic AI systems represent a shift from AI as a tool that assists human decision-makers to AI as an actor. When AI influences or executes decisions, foundational human rights questions arise. 

Join us for a side event examining the implications of agentic AI for accountability, liability and access to remedy worldwide, bringing senior justice leaders and judges across regions into the global conversation on AI governance. This event aims to:

• Bring senior justice leaders and judges from different regions into the global conversation on governing AI, especially as it becomes increasingly agentic;
• Examine jurisprudence emerging from different jurisdictions related to AI governance, including its impacts on human rights, rule of law, and access to remedy;
• Explore obligations under international human rights law, including questions of liability involving agentic AI;
• Understand capacity development needs across the wider justice sector on the technical and human rights dimensions of agentic AI.
