Volume 128 of The West Virginia Law Review is hosting its annual Symposium on Friday April 10, in Morgantown, West Virginia. This year's Symposium will focus on continuing advancements and trepidations surrounding Artificial Intelligence in the legal profession, legal curriculums, and the technology industry.
The West Virginia Law Review is the fourth-oldest Law Review in the country, and we pride ourselves on hosting our Symposium annually. Our academic advisor for this year’s Symposium is WVU College of Law Associate Professor Amy Cyphert, a recognized scholar in the field of artificial intelligence who has been teaching WVU Law students about AI and large language models years before even the release of ChatGPT. We hope our Symposium will further the discussion surrounding the ever-evolving state of AI.
