The Journal of Law and Technology’s symposium on artificial intelligence (AI) in law schools and the legal profession is especially timely in light of the difficulties of the implementation of AI into new sectors due to its rapid rise to popularity. This issue is important not only for the legal community, but for those who could potentially benefit, or be disadvantaged, from its use. Some consider AI to be in its infancy, so how do we manage its use when we do not know what could come from it? This panel is a great context in which to discuss the development of AI because of its role as leaders and advisors in the topic, holding immense knowledge and influence over the future state of AI. The speakers bios can be viewed here.
