Artificial Intelligence Forum

Please join Holland & Knight and Florida State University College of Law for three informative panel discussions on the in-demand topic of artificial intelligence (AI). Our distinguished moderators and panelists will begin with an overview of AI and then address regulatory issues surrounding AI and the future implications of its use.

The forum will conclude with a keynote speech by Professor Anu Bradford, a leading scholar on the European Union's regulatory power and a sought-after commentator on digital regulation, among other subjects. Professor Bradford is the author of the recently published book Digital Empires: The Global Battle to Regulate Technology (Oxford University Press, 2023), a lauded work that addresses themes at the heart of all of the panels for this event.
