We are very much looking forward to welcoming leading scholars in law, sociology, philosophy to explore how emerging technologies—AI, blockchain and data-driven systems—are reshaping core legal concepts such as justice, accountability and legitimacy.

On retrouve une version plus longue de ce plagiat dans la préface d'Etienne Klein pour le livre « Pour un numérique au service du bien commun » paru en 2022.

Aucune citation de Katrin Becker.

Le plagiat n'est pas gigantesque, mais ce qui me fascine ici, c'est l'accaparement d'une formule forgée par une autre.

Formule que l'on va retrouver ensuite partout chez Etienne Klein dans ses itw ou publications - rendant invisible la chercheuse qui l'a forgée.

Many thanks to @rebosaki.bsky.social and Mirjam Schaub, the editors of the volume!

The focus lies on how these technologies challenge traditional forms of self-representation and raise new questions about autonomy and control - particularly regarding the role of the body in virtual environments.
