AI is already reshaping law, public policy, regulation and the way organisations and institutions make decisions ⚖️🏛️💼

Understanding the technology is only part of the challenge. Future leaders will also need to understand the legal, political, ethical and governance questions it creates.

The University of Oxford's MSc in Law, Governance and Artificial Intelligence brings together expertise from the Faculty of Law and the Department of Politics and International Relations, alongside computational understanding and practical learning 📚💻

Students will learn across traditional disciplinary boundaries and develop the knowledge and judgement needed to think critically about how AI should be governed and used responsibly 🧠

Why now❓ Because decisions being made about AI today will help shape society for years to come 🏙️

How do you turn ideas about AI governance into practical action❓

A distinctive feature of the University of Oxford 's MSc in Law, Governance and Artificial Intelligence is its Capstone Project. Students will work in multidisciplinary teams to identify a real challenge in law, governance or society and develop an AI or computational response 👥🤖

Drawing on learning across law, politics, governance and computational understanding, students will apply their knowledge to a practical challenge, developing the judgement, collaboration and problem solving skills needed to work across disciplines 🧠⚖️🏛️💻

The Capstone is one of the ways the MSc moves beyond theory and connects academic learning with the real world challenges created by AI 🌍

📽️ In this video, Professor Shazia Choudhry of the Faculty of Law and Wadham College reflects on the impact of her longstanding work on domestic abuse, family justice and women's rights ♀️⚖️

"The most rewarding thing is seeing the research resonate with people who recognise the problems it describes. When survivors, advocates or practitioners say that the work gives language to something they have experienced or seen, that is incredibly powerful." 🗣️💬
