Berkeley Law AI Institute

Artificial Intelligence and machine learning are now integral to a wide range of products and services across industries, such as health care, financial services, life science, retail, and manufacturing. By enabling computer systems to analyze vast quantities of data, recognize patterns, autonomously perform tasks, and learn from experience, these technologies are transforming the way humans use and interact with machines and benefit from their incredible processing power and speed.  

What do lawyers need to know about the technology underlying artificial intelligence and the mechanics of machine learning? What’s so important about data set creation and acquisition? How are companies actually using Artificial Intelligence in different products and services? What questions should lawyers ask when confronted with AI systems that are making “decisions” that carry inherent risks, such as criminal guilt and tort liability? And how should organizations address the ethical issues raised by autonomous systems, such as data privacy, transparency, algorithmic fairness, and bias? This course answers these questions, among others, and will enable attorneys to more effectively advise their clients and serve as valued business partners within their organization.
