Description

Synopsis

AI is reshaping what lawyers do, how they work, and what they need to know. From drafting contracts to advising on AI-enabled crime at an international law enforcement organisation, the legal questions being asked today barely existed five years ago.

This talk will explore what it means to practise law at the intersection of technology and regulation — what skills matter, how to get into the field, and what the day-to-day work looks like across different settings including in-house roles, tech startups, and international organisations.

Whether you are curious about tech law, or want to understand how AI is affecting law enforcement efforts, this session will offer a practical and honest perspective.
