AI & Law Symposium

Event Description

AI & Law Symposium: Students Exploring Innovation, Challenges, and Legal Implications of a Technological Revolution

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been rapidly deployed around the world in a growing number of sectors, offering unprecedented opportunities while raising profound legal and ethical questions. This symposium will explore the transformative power of AI, focusing on its benefits, limitations, and the legal challenges it poses.

AI’s ability to revolutionize sectors such as healthcare, law, and business holds immense potential, from improving efficiency and access to services, to providing new tools for analysis and decision-making. However, the deployment of AI also introduces significant risks, including bias, privacy concerns, and ethical dilemmas that challenge existing legal and regulatory frameworks. As AI technologies continue to evolve, it is crucial to assess their implications critically to ensure responsible and equitable development.

This event invites undergraduate and graduate students* from across disciplines to contribute diverse perspectives on AI and law, with an emphasis on both innovation and critical challenges. From examining AI’s role in autonomous systems to addressing algorithmic discrimination, participants will delve into the rapidly evolving legal landscape surrounding AI, its impact on human rights, and the responsibilities of those creating and regulating these systems.

* Call for Proposals: post-secondary students from any discipline and any institution can submit a proposal to present. Deadline: Feb. 14, 2025 *
