Lunchtime lecture with Prof. Dr. Shubha Ghosh (Syracuse University College of Law)

Prof. Dr. Shubha Ghosh (Syracuse University College of Law) is currently conducting research as a visiting scholar at Bucerius Law School. During his stay he will give a lunchtime lecture on the newly discussed concept of Artificial Intelligence agents. His talk will mainly address the question of how do we employ AI? Please feel free to bring your lunch with you!

The common understanding is that AI is a tool to satisfy certain tasks. But more than metaphorically we also use AI much like we hire a human employee. This lunchtime discussion will examine the analytical strengths and weaknesses of thinking about AI as an employee, drawing on a branch of law called agency law. One main conclusion is that introducing agency law into the AI discussion supports bringing fiduciary principles as a possible guardrail on AI technologies.
