He spoke about AI in law journal publishing (representing the European Labour Law Journal) on a panel that included other law journals as well as Wolters Kluwer publishing. He spoke on the challenges from a journal perspective regarding the use of AI in legal publishing. David also spoke on a panel entitled Freedom and Autonomy in Labour Law: A Transatlantic Approach which was organised by Frank Hendrickx (KU Leuven) and chaired by Janice Bellace (Wharton). In this panel, David set out how the right to disconnect has a narrow scope (it being limited to protecting employees from punishment when not responding to persistent contact by their employers outside of normal working hours). His discussion can be found here.
