Join Professor Benjamin M. Sadun, Partner at Dechert LLP's Los Angeles office, for an engaging workshop on AI Bottlenecks and the Law.
This webinar will provide a clear breakdown of the four key paradigms of AI and the legal and practical limits associated with each. It will explore how AI systems function, assess whether and when AI can outperform human thinking, examine structural constraints in AI development, and address the legal risks and liabilities tied to deploying AI technologies.
