Law and Technology Series - AI: Where Technology and the Law Intersect

Fireside chat with Jon Festinger, KC, moderated by Elicia Salzberg

What happens when evolving technologies meet the law and your obligations? Join us for a conversation exploring the ethical, legal and technical issues arising from the use of AI technologies from a legal and business perspective. This will be the launchpad for a series of workshops and sessions designed to help lawyers, organizations and professionals understand how to navigate the new and continuously emerging tech landscape.

Topics include:

  • How AI is challenging existing legal frameworks and identifying new regulatory requirements
  • Risks, including privacy and data protection, misinformation, disinformation, and manipulation
  • Responsibility and liability for autonomous systems
  • Accountability: the role of AI in legal and business decision-making

Who should attend? Everyone is welcome to this hybrid event designed for lawyers, law students, policy makers, technologists, and anyone curious about the future of AI and the Law.
