Hi Joy! AI and Technology Law is a rapidly growing and interesting field. To get started, it's helpful to develop a mix of legal and tech skills. You don’t need to be a software engineer, but understanding the basics of AI, machine learning, and data systems can give you an advantage over those with only legal expertise. For example, taking courses on AI ethics, data privacy regulations like GDPR or cybersecurity fundamentals can be beneficial. Also, keep up with legal journals, follow developments such as the EU AI Act, and engage with tech policy communities. Writing about your insights on LinkedIn or a blog can help establish your presence in the field. Internships or volunteer work with organizations focused on digital rights, fintech regulation, or intellectual property in tech are also valuable. Since the field is still evolving, there’s plenty of opportunity to contribute and shape its direction, so focus on building relevant knowledge and experience. Best of luck!
