AI, Innovation, & Technology Policy

Classroom SRH 3.312 (third floor)
AI is already impacting many industries such as drug discovery, materials, energy, logistics, and education. Through a combination of invited expert interactions and seminar-style discussions of seminal works on AI and innovation, this course will explore the ways in which AI will impact innovation processes across industries, the societal opportunities and challenges that are likely to arise from those impacts, and the necessary changes, both proactive and reactive, to technology policy and regulation to balance the tradeoffs associated with AI’s impact on innovation processes.

Directions:
The LBJ School is in Sid Richardson Hall (SRH), a three-story white building between Red River Street and the large, white marble LBJ Library. The LBJ School is located in the northern half of Sid Richardson Hall. There are entrances at the middle of the school on the parking lot side of the building and on the southern end of the building, which corresponds to a breezeway that connects the parking lot to the plaza surrounding the LBJ Library.

Parking:
There is street and metered parking available around the LBJ School. Alternatively, you may want to park in the Manor Garage (about a 5 minute walk to the LBJ School with an hourly fee if no parking pass). A lot of students either carpool or use public transportation or the UT Shuttle.
