Overview
  • From self-driving cars to virtual voice assistants, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) has greatly increased in recent years. AI is making us question the way we think about society itself – and poses crucial legal, regulatory, ethical, and human rights challenges for lawyers and citizens alike.

    On this introductory course, you’ll explore what artificial intelligence is, evaluating its rationale and objectives, and how it can be regulated by law.

    This includes discussing key topics such as compliance, privacy, governance, and the bias to be found in AI-powered systems.

    In this course, our educators will irregularly join the discussion with you, and, of course, at every step in this course, you are invited to share your ideas with us and other fellow learners.

    The course will be followed by a second course, AI for Legal Professionals (II): Tools for Lawyers.

    This course is aimed at lawyers, legal educators, regulators, and anyone interested in legal and policy issues regarding the development and application of artificial intelligence.
