Technomoral Conversations — AI and the Future of Fundamental Rights

A fireside chat in the Edinburgh Futures Institute's large event space on how AI is reshaping fundamental rights — speech, labour, privacy and freedom of movement — and the politics around them.

Chaired by Dr Zeerak Talat of the Centre for Technomoral Futures, the panel is Javier Ruiz Diaz (Technology and Human Rights Lead, Amnesty International UK), tèmítópé lasade-anderson (Executive Director, Glitch), Haylea Campbell (Senior Associate in the pro bono practice at Hogan Lovells Cadwalader) and Professor Michael Veale (Technology Law and Policy, UCL). Part of the Technomoral Conversations series. Free, 18:00 to 19:30, with audience questions. The event is hybrid and live-captioned, with a real room at Lauriston Place.

Why go: a human-rights lawyer, a digital-harms organiser, a City pro bono lawyer and a tech-policy professor rarely share a stage, and the questions are the ones AI teams get asked by their own legal departments. Best for people shipping AI in regulated or public-facing products, and for policy and legal staff who have to review it.
