AI and the Law

Andrej Milic

Fully Online

In today's rapidly evolving landscape, the global surge in advanced computing and predictive capabilities is unmistakable. It is imperative for legal professionals to take a leading role in this transformative era. This course delves into a diverse array of legal and policy challenges stemming from artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and other emerging technologies. The legal framework in the areas under consideration is often either nonexistent or in its early stages. Consequently, students will have ample opportunities to contemplate how current laws can be adapted to address the regulatory and policy requirements pertinent to these advancing technologies. Together, the class will scrutinize issues arising from the intersection of algorithms and various legal facets, such as due process, free speech, bias and discrimination, predictive policing, civil liability concerning semi-autonomous vehicles and medical devices, implications for the financial sector, privacy and surveillance concerns, ethical considerations, and the impact on national security. This exploration aims to evaluate the repercussions for courts, agency oversight, legal practitioners, and society as a whole.
