In response to the new development of science and technology and the demand by the state to develop new disciplines in liberal arts, the Science and Technology and Law Research Center of CASS Law Institute recently officially launched the "Artificial Intelligence Law" course. The course (version 1.0) is divided into four parts (General Introduction, Substantive law, Procedural Law and Methodology), consisting of a total of 100 lectures, including a series of lectures on hotspot legal issues relating to artificial intelligence, such as "artificial intelligence", "digital currency", "unmanned driving", "blockchain", "face recognition", "AI and intellectual property", "quantitative trading", "algorithm control", "computer sentencing", and "robot lawyer". The course is mainly taught by Professor Yang Yanchao, Director of the Science, Technology and Law Research Center of CASS Institute of Law. The algorithm model used in the course experiment is the "Circular Law Artificial Neural Network" (designed by Yang Yanchao's team). The premiere lectures in the main part of this course were given at the Advanced Legal Seminar of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences in May 2021.
