We are pleased to announce that the call for papers for the Information Law and Policy Centre’s Annual Conference 2020 at IALS in London, is supported by Bloomsbury’s Communications Law journal.

• Accountability and transparency in AI systems
• Automated decision making and privacy rights
• Data ethics and innovation
• Surveillance and data privacy
• Online harms and the regulation of social media

The conference will take place on Thursday 19th and Friday 20th November 2020 (via Zoom).
The best papers will be featured in a special issue of Bloomsbury’s Communications Law journal, following a peer-review process. Those giving papers will be invited to submit full draft papers to the journal by 1st November 2020 for consideration by the journal’s editorial team.
