BLJ Symposium 2024

We are proud to present the 2024 Business Law Journal Symposium:

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: IMPLICATIONS ACROSS INDUSTRIES

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 2024 @ KING HALL IN ROOM 1001

This year's UC Davis Business Law Journal annual symposium will focus on Artificial Intelligence and its implications for attorneys in a variety of industries. Distinguished panelists broken up into three panels will discuss what the capabilities of Artificial Intelligence are, as well as examine the effects this technology will have on the work of attorneys employed in STEM and medical industries and  entertainment and copyright law.

Discussions will focus on these specific industries, but also on the effects of Artificial Intelligence on the role of the attorney more broadly. Please join us at King Hall as we explore the frontier of this cutting edge technology. Breakfast, lunch, and a reception afterwards will be provided.
