MACCHINE INTELLIGENTI E DIRITTO
Obiettivi formativi
Introduce students to the scientific and applicative perspectives stemming from the encounter between law, computer science and information technology. Offer an updated overview of the tools and methods that support the science and practice of law through digital technologies and automatic data processing. Introduce students to a cultural and scientific perspective in which computation and information science turn into an opportunity to fundamentally rethink the paradigms of legal science and practice
