Im in house at health tech company. I am being viewed as the AI lawyer in the company. Happy about it but realize I have a lot to learn. Does anyone have any suggestions on what course to do to gain expertise quickly ? Any certifications that are worth the money?

Bluedot and AI Safety, Ethics & Society have some good free foundational courses though have a clear policy angle. Great discussions though. Get to know the NIST documents of course. Read a lot of papers. I am for 3-5 arxiv papers per week, whatever sounds interesting. Vibe code, try different platforms, build datasets, etc. Set up an alert on westlaw/lexis for AI and skim the cases and bills.

I've been underwhelmed by what I've seen from IAPP for their AIGP thing. Frankly, the laws are shifting too often and too fast. It's a cash grab.

CLE is extremely hit or miss. More miss/marketing than hit. I generally try not to do the Ron Swanson "I know more than you" but there's pretty clearly a lot of people who have tossed AI in their law firm title without learning a shred about the underlying technology and their presentations tend to be pretty useless to anyone but the lay practitioner, or they're just going to talk about hallucinations the whole time.

James Sherer and Oliver Roberts are solid if you see anything with either of them speaking

LinkedIn and substack are other good places to find useful reads and people worth following.

PLI cles are decent for ai - like privacy, the same principles occur all the time. testing ai systems for hallucinations, human review, regulatory disclosures, guardrails on what data is being used to train the ai if any, ensuring the ai doesnt store ur data indefinitely etc

I wouldn’t worry about certifications. I typically say get those mainly to make yourself more marketable for desired opportunities. Here, it sounds like you already have the opportunity but need to upskill to make the most of it. Getting a shiny badge isn’t going to move the needle in that regard.


I second Substack, NIST, arxiv. And then also use the tools for your personal and prof tasks to gain familiarity. For Substack though, you’re going to need to wade through a bunch of crap and find the good authors.

Ethan Molick’s “co-intelligence” is an approachable primer on the tech and risks. He also has a decent blog.

Big thing for me is to figure out what area of law you need to learn more about due to you now being the AI lawyer. It could be privacy or IP or cyber or something else. But odds are that AI touches on risks that stem from an area of law that you may have limited exposure to. Make a point to learn in that area specifically (eg through PLI)
