Bachelor of Art (B.A.) programme in Artificial Intelligence and Law
This Bachelor of Art (B.A.) programme in Artificial Intelligence and Law is a social science programme which has as its leitmotif the role of AI in society. Society being a network of legal relations—set and carried out—in the semantics of law, its predominant discourse is “law and society”. The approach of the programme is “social engineering”. Its outcome is knowledge of how technology propels human social relations and becomes a determinant in producing social outcomes. The course also makes inroads into AI applications with the limited aim of informing students on algorithmic functions. It evaluates the various aspects of the AI including the range of technologies, their advantages and disadvantages, and how AI systems operate.
What Makes It Different at JGU?
- The programme aims to educate students about the differentiation between being in an AI environment, using the AI services on-offer, and making claims on AI outputs. The said objective is achieved through an ethical orientation which takes the form of “know the context” through “knowing the law”.
- Graduates with a B.A. in Artificial Intelligence and Law can pursue internships in AI research centers, tech law and policy institutions, ethics committees, AI firms, government bodies, regulatory agencies, international organizations, and tech companies.
- Upon completion of the programme, students of B.A. in Artificial Intelligence and Law are equipped with the knowledge and skills to understand AI’s societal impact, evaluate its ethical and regulatory dimensions, formulate policies, and certify AI solutions.
Programme Structure
The B.A. in Artificial Intelligence and Law at JGLS includes both compulsory and elective courses The programme strongly believes that AI is not open for free appropriation including it as open for “passing off”. Further, AIs available for public consumption, including many automated services in public spaces, are properties with ownerships—legal rights, so to speak. The programme aims to educate students about the differentiation between being in an AI environment, using the AI services on-offer, and making claims on AI outputs. The said objective is achieved through an ethical orientation which takes the form of “know the context” through “knowing the law”.
