About the course

MOOCs are free, online courses open to all and are part of the Law Society of Ireland’s Public Legal Education initiative. This year’s MOOC will provide participants with an insight into this rapidly developing area of AI and its implications across all sectors. 

The course will offer an overview of recent advancements in AI, delving into issues surrounding data security, ethical concerns, and economic consequences. It will also consider the impact AI may have within organisations, explore the considerable effect it is having on society, examine AI regulation, and look at how AI can be applied in our daily lives.

Expert speakers, lawyers and academics will review the current state of play surrounding AI, demystify concerns, discuss the potential impact it will have on key industries in the coming years, and much more.

What is a MOOC?

MOOCs are free, online courses open to all. After a bumper year in 2024, which saw the ESG-themed course attract over 3,600 participants from over 80 countries, the Law Society is thrilled to open registrations for what promises to be an insightful exploration into AI.

They feature online recorded and streamed presentations, together with interactive discussion forums and quizzes that allow participants to engage directly with our expert presenters.

The MOOC runs over five weeks, starting on 10 June 2025, and there are seven CPD points available for completing this course.
