You'll see how courts are viewing technology and AI, the risks and pitfalls of AI tools, and finish with practical tips for keeping data secure and a framework for compliance and risk mitigation. Your guide is Rachel V. Rose of Rachel V. Rose Attorney at Law, PLLC. Each module pairs lessons with key-takeaway readings, downloadable guides, a quiz, and a hands-on activity, and the course closes with a final assessment and an interactive role play.
