MOOCs are free online courses open to all and are part of the Law Society of Ireland’s Public Legal Education initiative. To date, the Diploma Centre’s MOOCs have attracted over 41,200 participants from 119 countries, since the project was first launched in 2014. The course features online recorded and streamed presentations, together with interactive discussion forums and quizzes that allow participants to engage directly with our expert presenters.
This year’s MOOC will provide participants with an insight into the rapidly developing impact and intersection of Social Media, AI and the Law. The course will offer an overview of recent advancements, delving into issues surrounding liability, regulation, privacy and data protection, social media bans, cybercrime and ecommerce. It will also explore the considerable impact on our work environment and daily lives including digital manipulation and surveillance.
Expert speakers, lawyers, public figures and academics will review the current state of play, demystify concerns, discuss the potential impact in the coming years, and much more.
