As AI systems take over more of the human decision-making process in the economy and people’s personal lives, we face the task of updating law, policy and regulations from a world designed for human decision making. The primary objective of this course is to provide students with a foundation for being active and informed participants in the AI developments that will surround them throughout their careers. The course will provide not only exposure to the emerging laws for regulating AI in various sectors but also a framework for analyzing policy and regulatory developments. Additionally, to set students up to be more effective lawyers, advocates, and policy makers, the course will foster a greater understanding of the technologies underlying AI. Note that since this is a new course at our law school and elsewhere, it will demand of participants greater flexibility and adaptability not unrelated to that required for navigating the coming era of digital transformations. GRADING NOTICE: This class does not permit the CR/NC/H grading option.
