The TBA Law Tech Section will offer a free webinar on Aug. 5 from noon to 1 p.m. CDT to explore the degree to which AI "entities" can be held liable for criminal activity. David Thaw, associate research professor of law and computing & information at the University of Pittsburgh School of Law, will provide an overview of the fundamental processes by which contemporary Large Language Models (LLMs) operate — including how they impersonate human-like activity — and then explore how this understanding can inform other areas of legal practice and how criminal law views the concept of volitional action.
