Law, Technology and Humans Volume 7(2), 2025
This symposium invites submissions that explain, explore and critique the AI-Human construct in contemporary as well as in near-history legal contexts. Contributions are encouraged to interpellate the AI-Human construct and/or/as well as consider how the AI-Human construct engages with ordering. This ordering can be examining within the AI-Human construct to see its complex and fluxing internal relationships. It can also be looking externally in how iterations and imaginaries of the AI-Human construct is and can be ordered in relation to other entities, networks and systems. To interpellate is to question politically, to demand that an entity fundamentally accounts for its being-in-the-word and its actions. To focus on order and ordering is to engage with essential forms of law. Law at its primordial is about the proper forms of ordering and ensuring right relations, foundational normative questions about how things should be. In short, contributions to this symposium are encouraged to go beyond the everyday legality that is ordering, normalising and stabilising the AI-Human construct and see it as exceptional. As something that is not merely a technical innovation that politics and law need to respond to, but as a political and legal emergence that is breaking and remaking everyday politics, society and law.
The Symposium will be edited by Matilda Arvidsson and Kieran Tranter.
Due date for manuscripts: 21 April 2025 at the Law, Technology and Humans website. Further details about the symposium are available online.
