Richard Susskind what an incredible talk Law at Leeds on A.I and the Law in the 2020s. This has left me thinking about criminal justice and technology and how the questions we are asking need to be broader #academia #ThinkBigger

Lots going on Law at Leeds today. LPRG at Leeds is hosting (jointly with Centre for Business Law and Practice) a roundtable with Professor Richard Susskind, which I’m moderating. Later Professor Susskind will deliver the School of Law’s annual Liberty Lecture.
