AI AND THE INTERPRETATION OF THE US CONSTITUTION AND OTHER LEGAL DO欧美口爆视频MENTS - 1:00pm - 2:15pm

The applications of artificial intelligence (AI) in the legal field are becoming increasingly apparent. One area of particular interest is the use of AI in interpreting legal documents, such as contracts and the U.S. Constitution. Proponents argue that AI could provide more objective and consistent interpretations, with reduced biases or inaccuracy. Others suggest that this could result in a more uniform application of law, provide clarity in complex legal landscapes, or uncover novel or more consistent patterns of legal thought.

However, critics caution that the notion of AI-driven objectivity in legal interpretation may be illusory. They argue that the underlying policy preferences and value judgments that underlie human interpretation of law cannot be eliminated, nor should they be, even with the use of advanced technology. They also highlight the central role of discretion and human judgment in matters of law. Moreover, they raise concerns about the transparency and accountability of AI systems in such crucial decision-making processes. Critics observe that many of similar questions have already been addressed in earlier debates about familiar interpretive philosophies, such as textualism, originalism, and pragmatism.

This panel explored the possibilities and limitations of using AI in interpreting the U.S. Constitution and other legal documents. Panelists examined the potential benefits, such as increased efficiency and consistency, as well as the challenges. The discussion explored questions surrounding the nature of legal interpretation and the role of human judgment in the process.

The First Amendment has long protected the speech rights of human (and corporate) speakers and listeners in the United States. However, the rapid advancements in artificial intelligence since 2022 have led to a new era in which AI-generated speech can match or even surpass human-generated content in terms of sophistication and substance. This development has raised complex questions about the intersection of AI speech, such as, how does the First Amendment apply to speech generated by machines, if at all?

This panel explored the various implications of AI-generated speech on First Amendment jurisprudence. Panelists examined听whether the right to free speech extends to the creation and dissemination of AI-generated content, and if so, to what extent. The discussion also explored the potential differences between AI and human speech, and whether these differences warrant distinct legal considerations.

Another key question the panel addressed is whether individuals have a First Amendment right to access AI-generated speech in the same way they do with human-generated content. This raises concerns about potential censorship and the role of government regulation in the realm of AI speech. Additionally, the panel considered the challenges posed by AI-generated speech that is defamatory, misleading, or inaccurate. Panelists explored whether such speech should be treated differently than similar content produced by human speakers, and if so, what legal frameworks could be applied to address these issues.

29th Annual Rothgerber Conference: Pursuing Citizenship

The 29th Annual Ira C. Rothgerber Conference:听Pursuing Citizenship, took place virtually on Friday, April 9, 2021, with a special, pre-conference听performance of听's .

This year's conference听built听upon 欧美口爆视频 Law Professor听Ming Hsu Chen's new book,听Pursuing Citizenship in the Enforcement Era, in which she argues that the citizen/alien binary should instead be reframed as a spectrum of citizenship, a concept that emphasizes continuities between the otherwise distinct experiences of membership and belonging for immigrants seeking to become citizens. In addition, citizenship consists of economic, social, political, and legal dimensions; the modern era of intense immigration enforcement distorts the balance and produces a sense of citizenship insecurity. This conference charted a broad conception of citizenship, putting the law in its social context, and explored its inextricable relationship to immigration enforcement in the modern era.听To read more about the conference, .听

28th Annual Rothgerber Conference: Women鈥檚 Enfranchisement: Beyond the 19th Amendment

The 28th Annual Ira C. Rothgerber Conference took place on April 3, 2020. This year's conference focused on the topic "Women鈥檚 Enfranchisement: Beyond the 19th Amendment". 2020 marked听the centennial of the 19th Amendment, formally extending suffrage to some, but not all, women, and is a presidential election year with an unprecedented number of female candidates running for national and local offices. But barriers to both political rights and social, lived equality persist, particularly for women at the intersections of race, sex, and class. The 28th Annual Ira C. Rothgerber Conference used the centennial to take stock of how far we鈥檝e come鈥攁nd how far we have to go鈥攊n terms of formal political enfranchisement as well as the social and economic empowerment of women more broadly.
