Law and Technology is a three-day, live online MIT Professional Education course that teaches technologists the critical legal frameworks behind the products they build. You will learn to navigate intellectual property, data privacy, AI regulation, and cybersecurity law using real-world scenarios, allowing you to turn legal requirements into a design input rather than a late-stage roadblock.
