Dr. Pavan Duggal the conference director presented a comprehensive analysis titled “QuantumComputing &Law:EmergingTrends,QuantumAI Ethics &Legal Perspectives.” While his opening remarks focused on legal preparedness, this session dug deeper into the technical and doctrinal shifts required in legal jurisprudence. He presented the idea of “Quantum Jurisprudence” a new field of legal theory focused on the intersection of quantum mechanics, computational capability, and human rights law. Dr. Duggal stressed that our current jurisprudence, shaped by centuries of linear logic, must now evolve to accommodate quantum indeterminacy and non-binary decision-making. A significant portion of his presentation focused on ethics. He discussed how quantum AI could lead to biases that are difficult to trace or correct. As systems grow in complexity, they may autonomously evolve “legal opinions” without human supervision or due explanation. This raises serious concerns about judicial automation, bias detection, and the preservation of human agency in legal decision-making. Dr. Duggal also presented a policy brief proposing a Quantum Law Bill, a model legal instrument that could be adapted by national governments. The bill proposed frameworks for:
- Quantum crime classification
- Data protection under quantum threats
- Admissibility of quantum-derived evidence
- Liability in quantum-AI operations
- Quantum-legal capacity-building initiatives
He concluded by stating that we are witnessing not merely a new technological phase, but a new civilizational epoch. In his view, it is imperative that law not only catches up with technology but anticipates it. His vision of a Global Quantum Legal Charter resonated deeply with participants and set the stage for future collaborations
