How can societies govern the digital transformation without suffocating innovation? This central question takes center stage tomorrow, Tuesday, July 28, at Queen Mary University of London for the international conference "Emerging Technologies and Future Challenges", which will also be streamed live online starting at 10:00 AM local time.

Jointly organized by Università San Raffaele Roma, Queen Mary University of London, the LeitAI Interuniversity Research Center (Multiversity Group), the San Raffaele Cybersecurity Observatory, and the London Centre for Commercial and Financial Law, the event serves as a vital bridge between the Italian, British, and broader European academic communities. The goal: evaluating the legal system's capacity to guide the impact of digital shifts on society, institutions, and global markets.

Coordinated by Giovanna Capilli (San Raffaele Roma) and Daniele D’Alvia (Queen Mary University), the day opens with welcoming remarks from Francesco Bongarrà, Director of the Italian Cultural Institute in London.

Throughout the event, leading international scholars will offer comparative takes on next-generation artificial intelligence - focusing on Agentic AI and Quantum AI - and its broader ramifications for labor, education, and the judiciary. Discussions will also carve out significant room for digital finance, the digital euro, stablecoins, cybersecurity, privacy protection, and online intermediary liability.

Patronized by the European Lawyers' Union and featuring contributions from top Italian institutions like Sapienza, Tor Vergata, and the University of Florence, the conference underscores the pivotal role of Italian research in the global debate on technological transition.
