This Bachelor of Art (B.A.) programme in Artificial Intelligence and Law is a social science programme which has as its leitmotif the role of AI in society. Society being a network of legal relations—set and carried out—in the semantics of law, its predominant discourse is “law and society”. The approach of the programme is “social engineering”. Its outcome is knowledge of how technology propels human social relations and becomes a determinant in producing social outcomes. The course also makes inroads into AI applications with the limited aim of informing students on algorithmic functions. It evaluates the various aspects of the AI including the range of technologies, their advantages and disadvantages, and how AI systems operate.
