The rapid advance of large language models is accelerating the deployment of agentic AI. These systems, capable of autonomous action, are poised to fundamentally reshape law, industry, and markets.

As their capabilities expand, these systems strain legal frameworks built for human decision-makers and traditional corporate agents, challenging assumptions about accountability, risk, and agency across corporate law, securities regulation, antitrust, financial regulation, and intellectual property. Deployed well, they can enhance judgment; deployed poorly, they can obscure responsibility and amplify harm.

This symposium convenes an interdisciplinary forum to address these critical tensions. We are bringing together leading scholars to examine how agentic AI reshapes legal doctrine and to consider how society can proactively design responses that champion both innovation and accountability. 

The symposium is a collaboration between UIowa's Innovation, Business, and Law Center and the Harvard Journal of Law and Technology.
