The International Penal Law Society announced on its front page on its official website on the International Information Network the conference of the Faculty of Law at Ain Shams University, which will start next Saturday on the topic “Legal and Economic Challenges and Prospects for Artificial Intelligence.”

The International Penal Law Society is one of the partners of the Faculty of Law in organizing the Artificial Intelligence and Criminal Law session at the conference, where the association is represented by Professor Catalin Ligeti, Vice President of the Society for Scientific Affairs, and Dean of the Faculty of Law at the University of Luxembourg.

The International Penal Law Society is one of the oldest scientific associations in the world, having been established in 1924, with its headquarters in Paris, and has branches in more than forty countries around the world. The association includes international professors, experts and judges in criminal law, and its scientific and research activity extends to many countries of the world. It is also responsible for publishing one of the most important criminal law periodicals in the world, the International Journal of Criminal Law, which has published two issues each year regularly since 1929. It is worth noting that the association played an important role in drafting a group of international documents, such as the 1984 Convention against Torture, as well as the 1998 Convention Establishing the International Criminal Court, as the association had the status of a participating observer in the sessions preparing the convention as well as its complementary documents until 2002.
