Exploring the Impact of AI from a Legal and Economic Perspective

For Rosemary Turgeon, from Canada, the decision to attend the Summer Course in Artificial Intelligence 2026 began with a simple objective: to better understand the fundamentals of artificial intelligence. The experience quickly evolved into a broader reflection on the impact AI is having on the workplace, the economy and the legal profession.

Throughout the course, Rosemary explored how AI works, its growing role in the labour market and the opportunities and challenges it presents for professionals across different sectors. From a legal perspective, the discussions also raised important questions about how AI is transforming professional practices and what its development could mean for the future of the legal field.

For Rosemary, the course provided more than a technical introduction to artificial intelligence. It offered an opportunity to consider its wider economic and societal implications and to develop a more critical perspective on the changes AI is bringing to our professional and everyday lives. Her experience highlights the importance of understanding AI not only as a technological development, but also as a force that is reshaping industries, professions and the way we think about the future.
