Featured Speaker, Artificial Intelligence: A Framework for Legal Understanding

Morgantown, WV

To enrich participants’ experience in the Artificial Intelligence and the Law Symposium, Professor Loza de Siles offers a cornerstone lecture and discussion in three parts toward understanding artificial intelligence (“AI”) and framing conceptions about AI in the law. First, she introduces key AI technical terms and map those to legal terms of art and constructions. (citation omitted). Second, Professor Loza de Siles presents two legal taxonomies by which to categorize AI types and uses and then sketches out some of the legal implications associated with these distinctions. Third, she offers a holistic taxonomy of AI system and use that is informed by concepts in systems and process engineering and product marketing. Using this conceptualization, Professor Loza de Siles suggests that AI becomes a process to be deconstructed, comprehended, and framed for legal analysis and doctrine and policy development.
