About this Event
Stanford Federalist Society Symposium on Law & AI
Please visit the official event page here.
Join us at Stanford Law School as we discuss the implications of AI for lawmaking, legal interpretation, and the future of human freedom. We'll be hearing from industry experts and academic and judicial minds about what challenges AI poses for the legal field and how we might expect the growth of AI to change the legal landscape for better or worse. Finally, grab the chance to participate in the discussion when we close with our Tavern Debate, arguing over whether the principles of the Federalist Society imply the acceleration or regulation of AI technologies.
