LAW-564 : CD: Artificial Intelligence and the Law

This seminar explores various aspects of the interaction of Artificial Intelligence and the law including some or all of the following aspects: liability for AI errors (e.g., self-driving cars); bias in AI expert systems and AI analysis and its impacts on minorities traditionally marginalized groups (e.g., setting bail and criminal sentencing); AI and IP (e.g., if patents are intended to teach the art patented, and the art patented is not understood because it is self-learning AI, should patents be issued?); IP social justice aspects of AI including the EU’s General Data Privacy Regulation requiring AI to be explainable for certain critical settings such as medical diagnosis; AI and social media, especially with respect to privacy concerns; AI in law practice and law firm management; implications of AI for employment, the economic system, and legal responses thereto; and applying AI to legal decision-making for claims for benefits such as social security disability or workers compensation.
