Once designated to the realm of science fiction, artificial intelligence (AI) has become an increasing reality in everyday life. Early applications on website messenger platforms and video games have given way to more impactful opportunities, such as AI-assisted surgery, and the potential upsides could save lives.

A new project dubbed CLASSICA, which includes Penn State Dickinson Law Assistant Professor of Law Sara Gerke, aims to explore those concerns.
