About this course

This four-week course titled AI and Law explores the way in which the increasing use of artificially intelligent software and hardware reshapes legal systems. The course is offered by Lund University and is hosted on Coursera. It is designed for beginners and requires no prior legal or technical background.

In the first module, learners understand the legal significance of artificially intelligent software and hardware. The second module examines the impact of artificial intelligence on the application and administration of law in the public sector. The third module covers the legal relevance of using artificially intelligent software in the private sector. The final module explores the importance of artificial intelligence for selected legal fields, including labour law, competition law and health law.

By the end of the course, a learner can identify legal risks arising from AI tools, evaluate compliance requirements in public administration, and assess how AI affects labour and competition law. The skills gained include AI literacy, legal technology awareness, and the ability to regulate and ensure compliance in AI-driven environments.

This course does not provide formal university credits from Lund University. Learners who want a formal qualification should look elsewhere.
