About the Law and Society Symposium
The first annual Law and Society Symposium offers Clemson students, faculty and visiting scholars a platform to explore trending legal issues as our students prepare to launch careers in law. Sponsored by the law firm of Loebsack and Brownlee, PLLC, the symposium was initiated through the vision and generosity of Clemson alumnus Chris Loebsack '03 in partnership with the College of Arts and Humanities.
The theme of the inaugural symposium is "Who owns my creative work in the age of AI?" The topic was chosen by a committee of Clemson faculty led by Professor Benjamin L. White, chair of the Department of Philosophy and Religion. This year's collection of lectures and panel discussion explore the implications of artificial intelligence, especially as they relate to property rights.
Topics covered will include:
- Property rights
- Understanding Generative AI
- "Human in the loop"
- Application of AI technology
- Labor impacts of AI
- Intellectual impacts of AI
