Aim | In the world, there is an increase in many applications resulting from our advanced computing and forecasting capabilities. Legal professionals (lawyers, judges and prosecutors) need to be at the forefront of this revolution. This course examines a wide range of legal and policy issues raised by artificial intelligence (AI), artificial intelligence (AI): machine learning, deep learning, artificial neural networks and algorithms, and other new technologies. Through weekly discussions, students will explore the many promises and perils of AI. This course is innovative and cutting-edge; students should be too. The laws in the areas we will cover either do not exist or are emerging. Students will have ample opportunity to consider how existing laws can be adapted to meet regulatory and policy needs related to emerging technologies. As the class explores issues raised by the intersection of algorithms and due process, free speech, bias and discrimination, civil liability for semi-autonomous vehicles and medical devices, the financial sector, privacy and surveillance, ethics, and national security, students will have ample opportunity to consider the implications for courts, agency oversight, lawyers, and society. |

Aim | In the world, there is an increase in many applications resulting from our advanced computing and forecasting capabilities. Legal professionals (lawyers, judges and prosecutors) need to be at the forefront of this revolution. This course examines a wide range of legal and policy issues raised by artificial intelligence (AI), artificial intelligence (AI): machine learning, deep learning, artificial neural networks and algorithms, and other new technologies. Through weekly discussions, students will explore the many promises and perils of AI. This course is innovative and cutting-edge; students should be too. The laws in the areas we will cover either do not exist or are emerging. Students will have ample opportunity to consider how existing laws can be adapted to meet regulatory and policy needs related to emerging technologies. As the class explores issues raised by the intersection of algorithms and due process, free speech, bias and discrimination, civil liability for semi-autonomous vehicles and medical devices, the financial sector, privacy and surveillance, ethics, and national security, students will have ample opportunity to consider the implications for courts, agency oversight, lawyers, and society. |
