This is the first of our two-part series on a topic that’s sweeping the headlines: Artificial Intelligence or A-I. But we’re taking a different angle, one that many in the data and mathematical sciences might not consider often, but absolutely should. We’re talking about the law!

This series will dig into the surprising intersections between A-I and legal frameworks—and the ways in which they’re increasingly intertwined.

This episode gets into the here and now – how A-I is already impacting legal practice and policy.

Our guest, Associate Professor Michael Guihot from QUT’s School of Law, is an expert on the intricate connections between emerging technologies and the legal system. He studies the societal impacts of innovations like A-I and how they challenge traditional legal frameworks.

Guihot also brings A-I into his classroom, giving future legal minds hands-on experience with the technology that will shape their field.

Our host for this series is Dr. Aaron Snoswell, a senior research fellow in A-I accountability at the QUT Generative AI Lab, and co-lead of the Responsible Data Science and A-I program at the QUT Centre for Data Science.
