As part of the fourth IViR Science Fiction and Information Law competition, DigiCon will publish the stories of the finalists every week. The winning stories will be revealed during the CPDP 2026 conference in Brussels on 19-22 May.
The third shortlisted story is now live on DigiCon.
It is called “I Will Tell You That I Love You” and was written by Seun Lari-Williams.
It moves between Brussels and Lagos, between two legal systems confronting a harm neither was built to recognise. It is sharp, deeply human, and asks questions that current legislation simply cannot answer yet.
The featured image accompanying the story is from Better Images of AI, a non-profit library challenging the tired visual tropes of AI, robots, glowing brains, metal hands, and replacing them with images that reflect its actual material reality. DigiCon has been collaborating with them, and you can explore the full flipbook on their website.
