AI and Law

The course comprises 5 ECTS credits and teaching takes place on site. It is conducted at half speed (50%) and runs for 7 weeks during the autumn term.

The course is conducted remotely with professionally pre-recorded video lectures. The lectures are available on the course website together with related reading material. Watching the video lectures is not compulsory but is recommended in order to get the most out of the course. The course is divided into four (4) modules. At the end of each module, there is a self-correcting test based on the content of the module, and a passing grade on the test is required to continue to the next module. The examination consists of an essay. If you have any questions before or during the course, please don’t hesitate to call or email us, and we will be happy to help you.

The course is suitable for those who want to supplement their education and are curious about how the increased use of AI affects the application of Swedish and international law.

The course deals with fundamental issues concerning the relationship between AI and law. A central part of the course is to identify both current and potential challenges and opportunities that arise when AI and law meet. Furthermore, the course aims to highlight key issues, such as how legal certainty and accountability are affected when AI is used in legal decision-making.
