This is how I use AI: Cornelia Koch
In today’s increasingly interconnected world, the modern lawyer must have a basic understanding of the legal systems of numerous countries. In Comparative Law (LAW 2508) students develop a global perspective by making substantive connections between the Australian common law and a range of other legal traditions. They question whether national legal systems and institutions are converging or if differing economic, political, social and cultural contexts preserve legal diversity.

A very short history of GPTs before ChatGPT
For many of us, artificial intelligence (AI) seemed to arrive with ChatGPT. But the field of AI is hardly new—the term itself is almost 70 years old—and the core technology that powers the generative AI software we use today is something University of Adelaide staff and students have been working with well before ChatGPT burst onto the scene.
