The course gives you a good overview of how AI can change our legal environment and perspectives, being presented as offering better solutions to problems but also practical and potential threats if not regulated correctly. The quizes were in my opinion a bit to easy, but the course aims to give you an introduction. Some of the recommended reading materials are very good.

I'm writing this review in July 2024. This course is very out of date at this point, and just doesn't address topics from a lens that makes sense at this point. I'm sure in 2017, when most of the material dates from, it was amazing. But many of the papers this references are before the GDPR was even implemented, and long before ChatGPT and similar tools became public. That seems like a mild complaint perhaps, but those pre-GDPR papers make up the bulk of some of the weekly readings, and I just don't think that's appropriate at this point. Lastly, as a smaller complaint, at least two of the papers they have you read are drafts, with a fair number of errors in them. Again, at this point, in 2024, long after the final versions of those works have presumably been executed, that just isn't appropriate.

It's really an informative course, the topics covered throughout the lectures really shed light on the base understanding of AI technology and how it affects various aspects of Law. For a beginner like me, it's really a stepping stone to an interdisciplinary topic like this.

It was good and informative. The basics of AI have been well taught and explained. However, it could have been a more detailed one.

Beneficial and insightful information! I would recommend this course to get a general understanding of AI and how it's linked to the law (it doesn't dive deep into specific legislation but rather into social issues and more broad cases/ subjects). It raises very interesting questions but they are still unanswered so it's more a theoretical and informational course rather than a practical one.

If you take the reading seriously it might take you longer to complete than what is suggested in each section, I also recommend doing the legal essay.

The course is well designed. As a legal officer in civil service I found in the course a very good introduction to the major issues evolving around the development of AI, the interplay of AI and Public Law and IP Law , the influence of AI on digital healthcare, the various complex issues pertaining AI in the work place and the impact on competition law and more. I particularly found extremely helpful the sources provided in the Course syllabuses that helped me dive into more complex issues and concepts. It was a great privilege to follow a course offered by a renowned university. Keep up the great work!

The lectures are more theoretical, and it would be more interesting to talk about practical issues. At the same time, the subtitles do not accurately reflect the professors' conversations.

This was an incredibly practical and useful course! Whenever I study the intersection of law and artificial intelligence, I'm tempted to question what I'm interested in because there's always something new and interesting to learn. Among all the courses, this course gave me a good understanding of how artificial intelligence affects society and law in different ways. The course covers a wide range of topics, from the basics of AI hardware and software to how AI can be used in various areas of the law and what legal questions this use might raise. Topics discussed include the connection between AI and law in the context of: legal responsibility, law-making, law-enforcing, criminal law, the medical sector and intellectual property law.

AI and Law course offered by Lund University is one of its kind. The course has extensively covered areas overlapping AI and Law in the most interesting way. The Course explained how AI could impact various fields of law like judicial decision making, labour law, medical law, IPR and how law could in turn respond to it. The lecturers have explained various concepts in a clear and concise way. The reading materials provided are informative ones offering various perceptions. The course is definitely an enriching experience for anyone interested in the intersection of AI and Law.

A great course for learning the fundamentals of AI in the legal field. I'm not a legal expert of any degree, but even I learnt quite a bit from the course videos and the supplementary reading material. The quizzes could be made a bit more difficult though, to be honest; I was able to do 3 of them without even watching the lectures. Still 5 stars for the good content.
