The increasing use of automated decision-making systems and Artificial Intelligence has profound legal, ethical, and societal implications. Algorithms are used to treat and diagnose disease, hire workers, allocate financial aid, assess college applicants, and predict crime.
James McKim participated in a panel discussion on Feb. 10, 2025 presented by the Warren B. Rudman Center for Justice, Leadership & Public Service and the Franklin Pierce Center for Intellectual Property on how bias can influence these algorithms, efforts to root out bias, and how the legal community should respond regarding both individual and intellectual property rights. The event was part of the Alison Curelop Series in Ethics, Professionalism and Civility.
