As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to advance, it poses unique challenges and opportunities within the legal landscape. The intersection of AI and law raises critical questions regarding intellectual property, liability, ethical use, and the regulation of AI-generated content. This workshop aims to explore these challenges and discuss potential responses from legal, regulatory, and ethical perspectives. We invite researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to share their insights and findings on various aspects of AI and its implications for law.
