DESCRIPTION

Join us for Being Human in the Age of AI, a symposium exploring how artificial intelligence is reshaping the law’s most basic assumptions about the human person — from the privacy of the mind to the boundaries of legal responsibility. Across four panels, we trace an arc from the innermost self outward: how neurotechnology and algorithmic design test the limits of cognitive liberty; how deepfakes and biometric systems unsettle the law of identity; how automated decision-making challenges due process and the right to be heard; and how courts and legislatures are struggling to define what AI fundamentally is. Attendees will hear from leading scholars, technologists, and practitioners grappling with these questions in real time, as courts issue rulings, states pass conflicting statutes, and AI companies themselves debate the moral status of the systems they build.

    7th Annual BTLJ-BCLT Fall Symposium: (Panel 1) The Last Private Place

    Format: On-Demand | Instructor: BCLT

    Showing: April 01, 2028
     7th Annual BTLJ-BCLT Fall Race & Technology Symposium: Being Human in the Age of AIPanel 1: The Last Private Place: Neural Data, Digital Addiction, and the Law of Cognitive Liberty Program Information | Agenda | Resources | Speaker Bio(s) & Contact Info Panel Description: As AI and neurotechnology move ever closer to the mind, this panel asks what it means for the law to protect mental privacy, attention, and cognition. Panelists examine neural-data statutes, addictive product design, and AI companion chatbots through privacy law, consumer-protection authority, and product liability. The central question: when does personalization shade into manipulation, and can existing law protect the user’s inner life? Speakers Matthew Lawrence, Emory University Law School Tracy Shapiro, Wilson Sonsini Francis Shen, Minnesota Law School Moderator Vincent Joralemon, Life Sciences & Competition Center, BCLT, UC Berkeley Law   Symposium Description: Being Human in the Age of AI, a symposium exploring how artificial intelligence is reshaping the law’s most basic assumptions about the human person — from the privacy of the mind to the boundaries of legal responsibility.

    7th Annual BTLJ-BCLT Fall Symposium: (Panel 2) Your Face, Your Voice, Your Self

    Format: On-Demand | Instructor: BCLT

    Showing: April 01, 2028
     7th Annual BTLJ-BCLT Fall Race & Technology Symposium: Being Human in the Age of AIPanel 2: Your Face, Your Voice, Your Self: Deepfakes, Biometrics, and the Law of Identity Program Information | Agenda | Resources | Speaker Bio(s) & Contact Info Panel Description: Generative AI can now clone a voice or fabricate a likeness, while biometric systems increasingly identify and track people through their faces and bodies. This panel examines the emerging law of identity from entertainment, civil-rights, and legal-scholarship perspectives. At its core is a single question: who controls identity once it becomes data? Speakers Duncan Crabtree-Ireland, SAG-AFTRA Mary Anne Franks, GW Law Jennifer Rothman, Penn Carey Law School Moderator Sonia Katyal, BCLT, UC Berkeley Law   Symposium Description: Being Human in the Age of AI, a symposium exploring how artificial intelligence is reshaping the law’s most basic assumptions about the human person — from the privacy of the mind to the boundaries of legal responsibility.

    7th Annual BTLJ-BCLT Fall Symposium: (Panel 3) The Black Box on Trial

    Format: On-Demand | Instructor: BCLT

    Showing: October 20, 2027
     7th Annual BTLJ-BCLT Fall Race & Technology Symposium: Being Human in the Age of AIPanel 3: The Black Box on Trial: Algorithmic Decisions, Due Process, and the Right to Contest Program Information | Agenda | Resources | Speaker Bio(s) & Contact Info Panel Description: Algorithms now sit inside decisions that once guaranteed a hearing — bail, parole, benefits, medical coverage — often without one. This panel traces the fight over trade-secret protections shielding algorithmic decision-making and the limits of current AI audit tooling. Panelists debate whether courts, auditors, or legislatures are best positioned to deliver a meaningful “right to contest” an automated decision. Speakers Sean Quinn, Cooley Rebecca Wexler, Columbia Law School Inioluwa Deborah Raji, UC Berkeley Moderator Colleen Chien, BCLT, UC Berkeley Law   Symposium Description: Being Human in the Age of AI, a symposium exploring how artificial intelligence is reshaping the law’s most basic assumptions about the human person — from the privacy of the mind to the boundaries of legal responsibility.

    7th Annual BTLJ-BCLT Fall Symposium: (Panel 4) Person, Product, Tool, or Speaker?

    Format: On-Demand | Instructor: BCLT

    Showing: October 20, 2027
     7th Annual BTLJ-BCLT Fall Race & Technology Symposium: Being Human in the Age of AIPanel 4: Person, Product, Tool, or Speaker? AI's Contested Legal Status Program Information | Agenda | Resources | Speaker Bio(s) & Contact Info Panel Description: While AI companies fund research into whether their own models might have morally relevant experiences, more than a dozen states have moved to declare by statute that AI cannot be conscious. This panel asks whether the law actually needs to resolve what AI fundamentally is — product, speaker, agent, or person — or whether courts are already deciding "who pays" case by case. Panelists bring perspectives from products-liability scholarship, First Amendment law, and in-house AI governance. Speakers Dean Erwin Chemerinsky, UC Berkeley Law Catherine M. Sharkey, NYU Law Janel Thamkul, Institute for Law & AI (LawAI), formerly Anthropic Moderator Pamela Samuelson, BCLT, UC Berkeley Law   Symposium Description: Being Human in the Age of AI, a symposium exploring how artificial intelligence is reshaping the law’s most basic assumptions about the human person — from the privacy of the mind to the boundaries of legal responsibility.
