The world is having an AI moment. With the attention attracted by AI models like ChatGPT and GPT-4, interest in AI is growing exponentially in both the public and commercial sectors. As the scale of AI deployment expands, there are increasingly urgent legal questions around legal status, rights and obligations of AI developers, service providers and users, and even of AI agents themselves. Can an AI have legal personality or be the inventor of a patent? What restrictions should there be on deployment of advanced AI? The participants in this webinar are experts on AI, and will discuss questions like these about the scope, approach, history and future of legal issues for AI.
