The Artificial Legal Intelligence Conundrum

At the University of Miami, we’re at the forefront of developing advanced artificial legal intelligence. As demand for artificial intelligence (AI) rises, its involvement in lawmaking can change the nature of the law itself, stripping it of the moral authority typically associated with human-made law. Professor Avery will explore this issue, presenting data on AI's influence and discussing the profound implications for the future of law. Don't miss this insightful talk on AI's role in law.
