About the Event

Featuring the internationally renowned Professor Ryan Abbott, Professor of Law and Health Sciences at the University of Surrey School of Law, Adjunct Assistant Professor of Medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and author of The Reasonable Robot: Artificial Intelligence and the Law.

Ryan will be interviewed by Professor Jeannie Marie Paterson, co-director of CAIDE and through leader in the field of AI, Law and fairness.

Does our antiquated legal framework constrain inventive AI. Should AI be allowed to invent? Ryan argues that the law should not discriminate between AI and human behaviour and proposes a new legal principle aims to improve human well-being.
