Regulation of Artificial Intelligence: A Legal and Practical Study

The law regulating data is becoming ever more fluid. While privacy laws are evolving or flourishing around the world, regulators are also turning their attention to the technologies being used to process and analyze the data. Artificial intelligence (AI) is one such technology that is gaining increasing regulatory attention. The European Union, the United States, Canada, China and other countries around the world are advancing R&D and commercialization of AI. At the same time, these countries, as well as multilateral institutions, are developing policy and regulatory frameworks to control and reduce harm of AI technologies.

This course will explore some of the foundations of AI to understand why AI is unique at law and how regulators, industry associations, civil society groups and others are thinking about the regulation of AI technologies.  This is a dynamic course that will review aspects of data law as well as look at the opportunities and risks presented by AI technologies from a multidisciplinary approach.
