One of the UK's top legal professionals has delivered a talk on AI at the University of Worcester.

The Master of the Rolls, Sir Geoffrey Vos, spoke to university staff and students, as well as legal professionals and high school students, about the future of the legal profession and the growing power of artificial intelligence.

As a senior judge in England and Wales, Sir Geoffrey oversees the civil division of the Court of Appeal and manages court records and civil justice administration.

During his visit, Sir Geoffrey answered audience questions about AI's impact on various elements of the law, from future county court operations to how AI will shape the careers of Worcester's law students.

He also spoke with university students after his talk.

The university is set to welcome its first cohort of students for its Artificial Intelligence BSc (Hons) course in September next year.

This course aims to train individuals to understand AI's power and societal impact.

Katie Costis, a third-year law student at the university and department representative for the School of Law, attended the event.

She said: "It means a lot to us to have someone as distinguished as Sir Geoffrey Vos come to the university to speak with us.

"Not just to hear his very interesting talk, but also to speak to him in person and receive advice from him and hear his experiences has been really great."

Professor David Green CBE DL, vice chancellor and chief executive of the university, said: "It has been an honour to host Sir Geoffrey Vos, and a privilege for all of us, staff and students, to hear him speak and pose questions directly to him.

"The subject of AI is one which is impacting all areas of life and will continue to do so, and to hear Sir Geoffrey talk on the matter as it relates to law has been a real privilege for not just the staff and students at the university’s School of Law, but also the wider legal profession in Worcester."
