Special Topics: Policing, Technology, and Artificial Intelligence

2 credits · Law School

This course will explore the complex and rapidly evolving relationship between policing, technology, and artificial intelligence (AI). Through readings, written responses, and group discussions, students will examine how emerging technologies are being adopted and deployed by law enforcement. Key topics will include the legal and ethical considerations surrounding the use of these technologies, their potential benefits and risks, and their impact on issues of privacy, bias, and police accountability. Students will also consider the policy and regulatory frameworks that govern the use of technology in policing, both at the local and national levels. Enrollment limited. Pass/Fail. [2]
