Mississippi College School of Law is one of the first schools in the nation to tackle the growing influence of artificial intelligence in jurisprudence by making AI education mandatory for all students.
For John Anderson, dean of the school, the goal is to train law students “to use the technology effectively, efficiently, and ethically and avoid a lot of the headlines that you’ve seen already where lawyers take shortcuts by using these technologies.”
MC is the first law school in the Southeast to require all students to complete an AI course. While the school has other AI classes, a general course is now mandatory for all first-year students.
Last month, first-year students completed the college’s first mandatory class on AI, a two day intensive course that culminated with a hands-on project.
What is AI?
