UPES rolls out disruptive technologies law programmes as it aims to address modern legal challenges

The School of Law, UPES University claims to have started a new specialised programme, Disruptive Technologies Law. The institute in an effort to expand the reach has further packaged courses with the five year Undergraduate (UG) programme.

With this integrated programme, it aims to address the legal aspects of emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and blockchain. Unlike traditional diploma or certificate courses, this is an undergraduate honours programme regulated by the Bar Council of India (BCI), which provides students with specialised expertise alongside their legal education, Abhishek Sinha, dean, UPES School of Law, told FE Education.

‘We have revamped our curriculum to align with technological advancements and industry demands. Through industry feedback and review, we have updated our courses, including legal subjects, to ensure relevance and readiness for disruptive technologies,’ he added.

Further, the institute claims to have developed ABSIN (Artificial Intelligence-powered Digital Law Professor) which is powered by ChatGPT-4. The institute claims to have created a clone of Abhishek Sinha, an Associate dean and professor at UPES School of Law.

The tool aims to provide legal education using modern technologies. ‘It has learned my voice, it is a clone now. . It is a digital persona and we can curate videos to teach within minutes because we do not require recording or editing. The content is generated by ChatGpt-4. Still, we also curate it further as the AI-developed content is not always ‘ Sinha said.
