It was a pleasure to join the IP Researchers Europe (IPRE) Conference 2026 which took place on 18-19 June at @WIPO and the @wto in Geneva. My presentation focused on reconciling the accessory functions of #trademarks, in the age of #AI and beyond @CiTiP_KULeuven

[Viltė Kristina Dessers @vkdessers]

The particular paper focuses on the use of LLM-based chatbots, the challenges it creates for safeguarding judicial independence and impartiality, and potential mitigation measures (work in progress). Full programme of the event: https://t.co/IYu8H2vrW5

My presentation focused on chatbots based on large language models (LLMs), the typology of their hallucinations, biases and explainability, and the right to a fair trial, with a particular focus on the independence and impartiality of a tribunal and adversarial proceedings.
