Program Summary

While there is very little AI (or generative AI) specific law today, there is both a widespread recognition of potential benefits to society and consumers and intense nervousness about potential harms. Law and policy are moving quickly to try and keep up with research and business, but it is still unclear how innovation and opportunity will be balanced against potential harms.

The uncertainty, high stakes, rapid development of capabilities, and heightened attention from lawmakers and regulators makes the risk versus opportunity calculus for AI particularly challenging for any consumer-focused applications. This session will help you understand both (1) where the law is and may go, and (2) where enforcement may go without the law when thinking about what trustworthiness means from a legal perspective.

This course is co-sponsored with myLawCLE.

Key topics to be discussed:

AI and consumer protection
Where the law is and may go
Where enforcement may go without the law when thinking about what trustworthiness means from a legal perspective
