Course Overview

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a branch of computer science focused on enabling machines, particularly computers, to perform tasks that previously required human intelligence. AI programming focuses on learning, reasoning, self-correction, problem-solving, and creativity. AI has the potential to change how lawyers in various sectors of the profession work - in private practice, in government, as in-house counsel, in the judiciary.
