What's It All About

What do lawyers and other professionals need to know about the technology underlying artificial intelligence (AI) and the mechanics of machine learning? How are companies actually using Artificial Intelligence in different products and services? What questions should lawyers, risk and compliance professionals, product managers, and others ask when confronted with AI systems that are making “decisions” that carry inherent risks? And how should organizations address the ethical issues raised by autonomous systems, such as data privacy, transparency, algorithmic fairness, and bias? This program answers these questions, among others, and will enable participants to more effectively advise their clients and serve as valued business partners within their organization.

Join us and earn MCLE credit and a Certificate of Completion from UC Berkeley!
