Course Aims

Course Description

This course explores key themes in the law and governance of artificial intelligence ("AI"€) and robotics. This course will be conducted in the form of a group discussion.

The course will be split into 3 parts.

  • Part 1 will address the unique characteristics of AI, the principles that guide the governance of AI, and the approaches to regulation.
  • Part 2 will seek to illustrate the concepts from Part 1 through the exploration of different AI use cases, such as autonomous vehicles, law enforcement, and automated speech.
  • Part 3 will discuss the attribution of rights and liabilities for AI before ending with the debate on whether law can be computed by AI judges.
