The Summer Institute on Law and AI will feature presentations, fireside chats and Q&As with researchers, practitioners, and policymakers on topics ranging from fundamental challenges in applying legal analysis to the rapidly evolving landscape of AI development and regulation to more applied questions around AI liability and insurance law, the regulation of compute, and the role of existing institutions and procedures. Attendees will learn about central ideas and concepts in the field and discuss them with leading experts in an informal and collaborative setting. The structured programming is complemented by opportunities for smaller group meetings and one-on-one conversations between participants. Participants will also have the opportunity to give short lightning talks to present their working papers, projects, and ideas to spur discussion and get feedback.
