BETR 2026 Symposium: Law, Technology, and Society: Charting the Next Frontier

Описание: The Business, Entrepreneurship & Tax Law Review (BETR) Spring 2026 Symposium, “Law, Technology, and Society: Charting the Next Frontier,” brings together scholars, practitioners, and interdisciplinary experts to examine the rapidly evolving relationship between artificial intelligence, law, and public institutions.

Through keynote presentations and collaborative panel discussions, the symposium explores emerging legal, economic, and societal challenges created by AI—including academic integrity, legal ethics, First Amendment theory, democratic governance, and liability for algorithmic harms. The program features contributions from faculty and researchers across multiple disciplines, including law, journalism, public affairs, and constitutional democracy, reflecting BETR’s commitment to fostering dialogue that bridges legal scholarship with real-world policy and technological developments.

By combining doctrinal analysis, empirical research, and practitioner insight, the symposium aims to advance thoughtful solutions to the complex legal questions posed by artificial intelligence and its growing influence on modern society. Full program here: https://betr.missouri.edu/symposia/
