A Problem-Based Approach
This textbook provides a comprehensive exploration of policy, law, ethics, and practical guidance on the use of AI for lawyers and compliance officers. Each week, you'll dive into a new topic through a compliance-focused lens, building your understanding step by step. After exploring the week's topic, you'll engage in hands-on exercises designed to apply what you've learned in a practical, meaningful way. Over the course of the semester, you'll complete assignments that guide you in developing the skills needed to create an AI compliance plan for a future corporation. Each week concludes with a recap of key takeaways, a preview of what's next, and a touch of AI-inspired fun to keep things engaging.
