FIDMA Second Annual Conference on Fairness in Digital Markets and Artificial Intelligence – Synthetic Imaginaries of Digital Fairness
Event description
Following the first edition’s success, the FIDMA Network (European Researcher Network on Fairness in Digital Markets and Artificial Intelligence) invites submissions for the second edition of the annual conference.
This year´s theme is Synthetic Imaginaries of Digital Fairness, where we aim to bring together scholars and practitioners from law, economics, and policy to explore the evolving role of fairness in digital markets, algorithmic systems, and the regulation of AI-driven economies. Recent years have seen fairness emerge not only as a principle of competition law and policy but as a guiding norm across digital regulation, algorithmic governance, and market design. This conference seeks to deepen and expand that dialogue, addressing fairness as both a legal and economic principle, its role in digital market regulation, and its implications for fundamental rights and compliance in an AI-driven Europe.
This year’s conference invites papers to approach the issue of digital fairness in open-minded and forward-looking ways (‘imaginaries’) which are specifically committed to the importance of constructive dialogue between different perspectives, the principle of fairness in public discourse and the necessity to ground normative imagination in data, models and theories about how the world really is (‘synthetic’).
