SUMMARY:Legal documents\, artificial computer intelligence and the fight 
 against modern slavery
DESCRIPTION:Legislation tackling modern slavery is clearly spreading arou
 nd the world\, placing varying obligations on companies over a certain t
 hreshold (and individuals within companies) to report\, disclose\, mitig
 ate\, and remediate risks and instances of modern slavery in local and c
 omplex domestic and global supply and value chains. This legislation tar
 gets medium to large companies as they are often the producer of goods a
 nd services tainted by human rights violations\, with penalties for brea
 ches and failure to notify. This session will examine the current and pr
 edicted future of modern slavery legislation\, the obligations it places
  on multinational organizations\, the technological solutions available 
 to companies and their legal advisors to comply with such obligations an
 d jurisdictional and cultural differences in the implementation and the 
 enforcement of such obligations. In particular\, this session will demon
 strate how AI solutions will revolutionize both the visualization of hum
 an rights violations and drafting of contracts to assist in- house\, cor
 porate\, human rights\, employment and criminal lawyers and their client
 s in complying with these new statutory duties- noting that this technol
 ogy can apply to other legal/ social issues like environmental ones. \n\
