 d-6hqTMsGdUvpnw_oZyk_oI_M1Y8uatP \n\nJoin us for an AI and the Law talk wi
 th Prof. James Grimmelmann\, who will explore the question of software int
 erpretation and revisit some of the classic thought experiments about arti
 ficial intelligence from a lawyerly point of view. \n\nAbstract \n\nCan Ch
 atGPT commit defamation? A lawyer would say that defamation of a public fi
 gure requires a false statement of fact made with knowledge or reckless di
 sregard of its falsity. But do these doctrines\, which were created with h
 umans in mind\, even make sense when the 'defendant' is a computer system?
  I will argue that answering these legal questions requires us to confront
  deep philosophical problems about the nature of language and thought. Alo
 ng the way\, I will revisit some of the classic thought experiments about 
 artificial intelligence\, like the Turing Test and the Chinese Room\, from
  a lawyerly point of view. If corporations can be human enough to be held 
 liable for defamation\, why can't computers? \n\nAbout the speaker \n\nJam
 es Grimmelmann is the Tessler Family Professor of Digital and Information 
 Law at Cornell Tech and Cornell Law School. He helps lawyers and technolog
 ists understand each other\, applying ideas from computer science to probl
 ems in law and vice versa. \n\nAI and the Law Series \n\nThe AI and the La
 w Series is hosted by the Montreal Cyberjustice Laboratory\, and the Priva
 te Justice and the Rule of Law Research Group. We would like to thank our 
 sponsors: the Autonomy Through Cyberjustice Technologies and AI Project\, 
 and the McGill Student Collective on Technology and Law. \n
