Media Advisory: Series of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Lectures and Discussions Hosted by UCI Law
IRVINE, Calif. (Jan. 8, 2020) — As rapidly developing technologies outpace the law and raise ethical questions and challenges, the University of California, Irvine School of Law (UCI Law) is hosting a colloquium series titled, “Artificial Intelligence & Law,” to discuss legal questions surrounding these issues. In conjunction with the colloquium series, UCI Law is hosting evening discussions called the “Artificial Intelligence Public Lecture Series.”
WHAT: Machine learning and automated decision-making technologies, more commonly referred to as “artificial intelligence” or “AI,” are an increasingly integral part of our social systems. These technologies, however, raise legal questions regarding oversight, individual rights, liability and justice. The series of events led by Chancellor’s Professor of Law at UCI Law Dan Burk brings together leading experts and thinkers engaged with these issues.
At UCI Law, our faculty work in an interdisciplinary fashion to ensure that law, policy and ethics keep up with technological changes and to lead the development of practical legal and policy solutions that our world needs today.
WHO & WHEN: Presentations at the UCI Law Spring 2020 Artificial Intelligence & Law Colloquium Series and the Artificial Intelligence Public Lecture Series reflect a range of innovative and interdisciplinary thinking at the intersections of law, policy, and emerging technologies, presented by leading scholars in their fields.
