Source: British Institute of International and Comparative Law (BIICL) — Events: Artificial Intelligence Regulation and Business and Human Rights

This roundtable will take place on 10 June 2026 at the British Institute of International and Comparative Law, Charles Clore House, 17 Russell Square, London WC1B 5JP, running 17:00–18:30 with registration from 16:30 and followed by a reception. It is chaired by Dr Irene Pietropaoli, with speakers Harry Borovick (Luminance), Jessica Clay (Kingsley Napley), Roch Glowacki (Lewis Silkin) and Jacob Turner (Fountain Court Chambers). Registration is open to members of the Business and Human Rights Forum and invited guests; those wishing to attend are asked to contact Dr Irene Pietropaoli to request a place.

The roundtable will examine the intersection between AI regulation and business and human rights, focusing on regulatory fragmentation and normative tensions across jurisdictions and the interaction between the EU AI Act, the CSDDD, the Digital Services Act (DSA), sector-specific regulation and international business and human rights standards. It will explore AI’s dual role as a source of complex risks—such as explainability, discrimination, employee monitoring, data governance, intellectual property, accountability and access to remedy—and as a tool companies use for compliance, governance and human rights and environmental due diligence (HREDD), including risk identification, monitoring and supply-chain mapping. Agendas include regulatory overlap and conflict-of-laws, operationalisation of risk-based AI governance (impact assessments, explainability, accountability), litigation and enforcement risks, contractual allocation of AI-related liability, and uses of AI within corporate governance and HREDD processes.
