【Course Objectives】

The objectives of this seminar are to examine the various problems in Civil Law while accurately understanding the positioning of those problems and to become able to derive your own ideas based on legal thinking. At the same time, this seminar aims to enable students to master the techniques which are required for learning and to become a member of society which include researching the literature, preparing as a group for a presentation and giving a report, and engaging in a debate based on a report.

【Course Contents】

In this seminar, we will examine the impact of AI on civil law.

Recent technological innovations in AI are remarkable How will these technological advances affect the world of law, especially the world of civil law? In the future, if AI acquires the ability to make decisions on its own and a situation arises in which the responsibility of the AI designer cannot be held, will AI itself be held responsible for the damage caused by AI? If we can, we need to give AI its status as a subject in the legal world. So, can AI be the subject of the legal world?

The task of this seminar is to struggle with various questions related to AI and civil law.

To answer these questions, we begin by studying basic legal precedents regarding privacy. After that, we will read related papers.

In December, we will invite Professor Céline Castets-Renard of the University of Ottawa, Canada, who is an expert in AI law, to give two classes (Hatano will serve as an interpreter).

In this seminar, during each session two or three students will present a report on the relevant topic which will form the basis of discussion (each participant will give one reports during the semester). Moreover, the students giving the report will also present the arguments after the report to lead the discussion (the instructor may assist as needed). The instructor wishes to respect the autonomy of all students. Students are required to sufficiently prepare and actively speak up in discussion.

In addition, this seminar is scheduled to be a joint seminar with Professor Aya Osawa (Hosei University). In addition to preparing a report, you are invited to participate in either the question or the answer of the joint seminar.

The assigned years for this seminar are the second through the fourth year. Sufficient preparation is particularly required for second-year students. In addition, students presenting reports will need to prepare their presentations such that they can be understood by second-year students without the prerequisite level of knowledge. Consideration will be given to students involved in job searching activities. 3rd and 4th grade students are encouraged to participate.
