Artificial Intelligence (AI), previously the focus of science fiction writers, has become a reality.

Nowhere has this been more sensationalized than in the courts, with highly publicized incidents of misuse of AI and succumbing to some of its current foibles, including so-called “hallucinations” – leading to the citation of cases that do not exist or that, if they do exist, bear no relationship to the purpose for which they are cited – to say nothing of “deep fakes” that threaten to torpedo longstanding evidentiary standards.

This 4-day, comprehensive course is tailored specifically to the needs of judges and lawyers, to provide them with a solid grounding in AI essentials as well as a variety of legal and policy issues.

This course will explore the implications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for both the judiciary and the legal profession. Registrants will be introduced to the basic concepts of AI in general and, in particular, the types of AI in use by judges, court systems, and lawyers.

ABOUT PITTSBURGH
Pittsburgh is centrally located and has an international airport served by major U.S. and international airlines. Located at the junction of three rivers, Pittsburgh has long since shed its erstwhile image as a steel town and has been reborn as a vibrant and delightful city. Its gilded age, industrial past is well represented by four Carnegie museums (including the Museum of Natural History and the Museum of Art), and the Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens; for those with more modern tastes, there is the Andy Warhol Museum on the north side of town. Home to a 120-year old symphony orchestra and many professional sports teams (including the iconic Pittsburgh Pirates and the Pittsburgh Steelers), the city offers tours and attractions too numerous to mention, including parks and green spaces, trolleys, and funiculars.

The conference venue is within walking distance or a short Uber/cab ride from a variety of hotels and the downtown area.
