The Robotics & AI Revolutions | Lexing Network 2026 Conference
3 November @ 8:30 am - 6:30 pm
Robots and artificial intelligence are no longer simple tools. They are becoming autonomous systems that make decisions, interact with the public and operate inside our businesses. Recent milestones, from the first World Humanoid Robot Games in China to the Digital Omnibus amending the EU AI Act, show that this transition is accelerating.
Michalsons, member of the Lexing international network of technology lawyers, invites you to follow the Lexing Network 2026 Conference, “The Robotics & AI Revolutions”. For one day, lawyers from 12 countries will share how the law is adapting toautonomous robots and AI, and what organisations need to do now.
The questions on the table
Who is legally liable when a robot or an AI system makes a decision, interacts with thepublic or suffers a cyberattack? How can companies innovate while complying with stricter and more numerousregulations? What is at stake for intellectual property when inventions are generated by AI? How can robotics and AI be integrated into a business in an ethical and responsibleway?
