Artificial Intelligence and Law

The student is required to prepare and present a project on the given aspect of Artificial Intelligence’s impact on the law. Projects are prepared and presented by a group of 3-4 students and each of them is required to establish their input on the project (formal requirement). Merits of the project constitute a substantive requirement for final evaluation. Final positive evaluation requires positive evaluation in both formal and substantive requirements.
While presenting their project, students need to demonstrate they have learnt the indicated scope of knowledge on AI and law.
Teaching methods
Independent analysis of reading material and critical evaluation of discussed matters,
researching additional data, arguments and possible answers to the problems.
