It is very important for us to decide the ground we want to play in. We should first decide where will we be practicing our knowledge. If we want to practice as a lawyer in UK then we have to learn common law systems. We cannot practice as a lawyer in UK if we have studied Civil law jurisdictions and we know nothing about common law systems.
In order to maintain law and order we need to educate law abiding citizen of our society. If you’re passionate to be a lawyer you must be aware of the facts about lawyers and the royalty of law.

Future trends of Law:
Law will be adapting dramatically to the future changing environment as we can see that many companies are shifting to new artificial intelligence technologies which demands laws to be mended as I have described below:
“Artificial intelligence is intelligence demonstrated by machines, unlike the natural intelligence displayed by humans and animals, which involves consciousness and emotionality”
AI Generated Outputs:
These are the outputs made by computer systems that have the freedom to do decision making during the output generation process with minimised human intervention and embracing their own understanding of real world.
AI & Copyright Issues:
Originality of the content comes from authorship and copyright protection is when the content is original.
Fashion & copyright issues:
Fashion industry has been vulnerable to copyright issues for a long period of time. Fast fashion stores provide cheap and low quality products (Fake copies).
Impact of AI on Fashion Industry:
AI generated creations are risky as they can end up for everyone to copy and cause a major loss for the investor because there will be no originality and authorship of the product. AI generated fashion designs would no doubt bring a revolution in fashion industry but they will also be very vulnerable to copyright issues.
Probable Solution to AI vulnerabilities:
Firstly, to protect copyrights is to no let AI generated fashion designs fall in public domain by default.
Secondly, copyright laws should be mended according to the future needs.
Thirdly, the user who initiates the creation of AI generated work and programmes the AI according to his needs must be recognized as the author of the work.
Therefore, if we do not adapt to these innovations then AI copyright fashion issue or any other issue regarding AI copyright will be the same as existing issues rather they’ll be more vulnerable.
AI & Automotive Industry laws:
Automotive industry is revolutionizing towards automatic and driver free vehicles.
With advancements, many manufacturers are testing their AI driven vehicles on road– it will grow just as necessary to regulate and address the legal implications of their use.
The issue arises that in a split second decision before an accident what should the AI do to protect those involved in the accident? Should it save its own passengers or the pedestrians? And if pedestrians then which ones? The tests were conducted and people had to choose who must die? The 3 people in front of the car or the person on the side who is at a safe place? Mostly people let the 1 person die and saved 3 people. The automakers are moving towards these majority votes in critical conditions.
Levels of Automation:
There are five levels of automation established by experts in the field, ranging from
Number 1, “No Automation” (the human driver performs all the driving tasks), at one end to
Number 5, “Fully Autonomous” (the vehicle is capable of performing all driving functions in all conditions), at the other.
For the levels 2-4, the human driver has progressively less need to take over from the automated system with Partial, Conditional and High Automation respectively. But the drivers are expected to take over in certain situations.
Liability:
Usually in car accidents drivers are considered liable of it unless its a product defect. As cars are becoming autonomous the liability may shift to manufacturers, since the manufacturer’s product – that is, the car – is “driving” itself.
There had been many cases in which these automated cars have resulted into major accidents. Companies are adapting and making their systems more accurate day by day by using the combinations of LIDAR, RADAR, cameras, software, GPS/IMU and ultrasonic techniques.
