DESCRIPTION:For the second AI and Law Series talk of the university year\, 
 we welcome Professor Simon Chesterman (Dean\, National University of Singa
 pore Faculty of Law) to present a chapter of his forthcoming book\, Regula
 ting Artificial Intelligence: Algorithms\, Robots\, and the Limits of the 
 Law.\n\nCommentary will be provided by Mr. Jacob Turner\, barrister at Fou
 ntain Court Chambers in London U.K.\, and author of Robot Rules: Regulatin
 g Artificial Intelligence (Palgrave Macmillan 2019).\n\nThe conference wil
 l take place on Zoom: https://mcgill.zoom.us/j/83978212806\n\nAbstract\n\n
 Recent years have seen a proliferation of guides\, frameworks\, and princi
 ples focused on AI. Yet\, for all the time and effort that has gone into c
 onvening workshops and retreats to draft the various documents\, curiously
  little has been applied to what they mean in practice or how they would b
 e implemented. A different question might yield a more revealing answer\, 
 which is whether any of these principles are\, in fact\, necessary.\n\nRat
 her than add to the proliferation of such principles\, this talk shifts fo
 cus away from the question of what new rules are required for regulating A
 I. Instead\, the three questions that it will attempt to answer are why re
 gulation is necessary\, when changes to regulatory structures (including r
 ules) should be adopted\, and how they might be implemented.\n\nThe hope i
 s that this will reveal both the actual new rules that are required as wel
 l as a process for keeping them up to date.\n\nAbout the Speaker\n\nProfes
 sor Simon Chesterman is Dean of the National University of Singapore Facul
 ty of Law. He is also Editor of the Asian Journal of International Law. Ed
 ucated in Melbourne\, Beijing\, Amsterdam\, and Oxford\, Professor Chester

 tate-building and post-conflict reconstruction\, the changing role of inte
 lligence agencies\, and the emerging role of artificial intelligence and b
 ig data. He also writes on legal education and higher education more gener
