LAW 552 – Law and the Fundamentals of AI (2 units)
Law and the Fundamentals of AI is designed to provide law students with a robust understanding of artificial intelligence (AI), emphasizing its relevance and applications in the legal domain. This course will delve into the foundational concepts of AI, equipping students with the necessary vocabulary and knowledge to understand AI's applications and limitations. While the course will focus primarily on generative AI, it will discuss a variety of AI tools and concepts, tracing AI’s evolution from its conception to the latest developments in generative AI. Through this journey, students will gain insights into how these developments are reshaping the legal landscape, the emergent legal challenges, and the broader societal implications of generative AI. The course will also provide a glimpse into the future of AI and the future of an AI-augmented legal world.
Candidates must have a JD and at least five years of practical experience, including experience in the course subject matter. Teaching experience is preferred. In addition, this course will be taught on campus, so instructors must be local.
