The Generative AI and Law School, whose honorary patron is the President of the Republic of Slovenia, Dr. Nataša Pirc Musar, will start on Thursday, 16 November 2023 at 17.00 in the Red Lecture Hall of the Faculty of Law, University of Ljubljana, Poljanski nasip 2, 1000 Ljubljana. Registration for all participants will take place from 16.30 to 17.00 in front of the red lecture hall, so we kindly ask all participants to arrive on time on the day of the event.
Over 120 participants applied for the Generative AI and Law School, where we awarded 90 scholarships with the help of our gold supporters Celtra and Senica Law Firm, and silver supporters NLaw, Outbrain, Silicon Gardens, VBG and Aleph. These funds enable students to attend for free and support professional development in the field of AI and law.
The programme of the first meeting of the School includes a lecture by Prof. Dr. Blaž Zupan from the Faculty of Computer Science and Informatics at UL on “How does technology work?”. Afterwards, there will be a round table discussion on the advantages and disadvantages of AI, moderated by Nina Slaček, journalist of Radio Slovenia’s first programme.
