Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing the way we live, work, and play—and the proliferation of AI systems that directly affect individuals and companies will continue to accelerate in the future. This seminar is an annual update that will focus on the law of AI, autonomous and algorithmic systems (collectively AI), and the impact of AI on legal practice. It will offer attorneys an opportunity to develop a better understanding of AI, including its history, uses, and limitations, as well as the law developing nationally and internationally relevant to AI.
The seminar will begin with a survey of AI and its applications. Next, it will examine the interplay between Trustworthy AI, AI Governance and AI Risk, and how that relates to evolving law covering AI. This includes examination of how current law is being applied to AI technology and how regulators are attempting to address future concerns. Given the broad uses of AI in every sector and the relationship between AI and data, the seminar will consider laws and standards covering privacy, data usage, and security as well as AI specific and relevant sectoral specific laws. Further, the seminar will explore various certifications and standards being adopted to ensure Trustworthy AI.
