We Robot 2025 Conference

Introduction

This special We Robot issue of the Canadian Journal of Law and Technology is particularly ‘‘special” to us for a variety of reasons. It presents an important opportunity to highlight the interdisciplinarity required to meaningfully engage with robotics and artificial intelligence (‘‘AI”) regulation. It highlights the growing international connections among law and technology scholars. And it features many of the cutting-edge papers from one of the world’s premier law and robotics conferences, We Robot. The thirteenth annual We Robot 2025 conference was held at the University of Windsor in April 2025. This conference marked the first ever in-person gathering of We Robot in Canada, chaired and hosted by Professor Kristen Thomasen, an associate professor and Chair in Law, Robotics, and Society at Windsor Law.
