AI for Law: Technical Risks & Operational Readiness

Georgia Tech’s School of Public Policy will host a CLE on artificial intelligence for attorneys, led by Pascal Van Hentenryck, to explain how AI works, its limitations, and best practices for legal oversight.

The Georgia Tech School of Public Policy will host a continuing legal education (CLE) event for practicing attorneys in the newly renovated D.M. Smith Building. Students are welcome and encouraged to attend.

The session will be led by Pascal Van Hentenryck, A. Russell Chandler III Chair and professor at Georgia Tech. Van Hentenryck is also director of the NSF AI Institute for Advances in Optimization and director of Tech AI, Georgia Tech’s artificial intelligence hub.

Artificial intelligence (AI) now permeates business systems, from document workflows and e-discovery platforms to client-facing services. This CLE will translate the technical realities of AI into plain language for attorneys. Van Hentenryck, a pioneer in constraint programming and AI optimization with extensive industry experience in logistics, energy, mobility, manufacturing, and corporate systems, will explain how modern AI works, where it fails, and the controls legal teams should require from vendors and internal IT.

The session will be interactive, with time for participants to ask questions.
