ILI/NYU Workshop on Fiduciary Duties and AI


Fiduciary Duties and AI: Legal Frameworks, Technical Implementation, and Governance

This two-day workshop explores the emerging intersection of fiduciary duties and artificial intelligence systems. As AI agents increasingly act on behalf of individuals and organizations in high stakes domains—managing health information, making financial decisions, curating educational content, and mediating consumer relationships—questions of loyalty, care, and accountability become paramount.

This conference aims to bootstrap an interdisciplinary community of practice that will shape the development, regulation, and standardization of fiduciary AI systems. We seek to bring together legal scholars, computer scientists, entrepreneurs, civil society organizations, and government representatives to examine how traditional fiduciary principles can be adapted, implemented, and enforced in the age of AI agents.

The workshop takes up a set of open questions: whether AI systems today are capable of performing a fiduciary role, and how we will know when they are ready; how they can be designed to comply with existing fiduciary duties across law, healthcare, finance, and the guardianship of children; what new responsibilities should apply to AI providers, and which actors in complex AI supply chains bear them; and what business models will sustain a thriving ecosystem of fiduciary AI services. Throughout, it asks which institutions will enforce these duties — and how.
