Andrea Stazi, Director of the Centre for Law and Ethics of Innovation, Technology and Artificial Intelligence (LeitAI) and Full Professor of Comparative Law & New Technology Law at San Raffaele University of Rome, was among the experts contributing to the final conference of the European CREA3 project, “Conflict Resolution with Equitative Algorithms”, held in Naples on 24–25 September 2026.
The conference brought together academics, legal professionals and institutional stakeholders from across Europe to examine how artificial intelligence is transforming dispute resolution and justice, with particular attention to human agency, procedural fairness and the governance of AI-assisted systems.
Opening the first panel, Stazi addressed the ethical and structural risks of using general-purpose AI models in mediation and conciliation. He highlighted concerns including algorithmic sycophancy, factual hallucinations and the possibility that autonomous AI agents could prioritise procedural shortcuts over the autonomy of the parties.
The CREA3 final conference, co-funded by the European Union, brought together partner universities including Vrije Universiteit Brussel, University of Naples Federico II, Suor Orsola Benincasa University, University of Ljubljana and Vilnius University, alongside legal, professional and institutional partners.
Across two days, discussions focused on AI-assisted mediation, predictive justice, digital identity, vulnerability, access to justice, gender bias and human-centred AI. The conference also presented the development and testing of the CREA3 platform for AI-assisted conciliation.
