Professor Renee Henson publishes article on insurance and AI
Professor Renee Henson recently published “Government-Backed Insurance for Artificial Intelligence Technologies” in the Georgia State University Law Review, where she examines the widening gap between rapidly advancing artificial intelligence technologies and existing insurance frameworks.
