America 250: Preserving the Rule of Law in the Age of Rapid Change
The Annual Conference will continue to examine potential threats to the Rule of Law caused by major changes in society including the implementation and expansion of technology such as artificial intelligence (AI), the evolving threat environment (both Cyber and Physical), and the evolving social atmosphere. The Rule of Law is a cornerstone of democratic systems, ensuring that laws are applied equally, impartially and predictably and that individuals’ rights are protected. The Rule of Law must serve as an anchor amid the swirling currents of change.
