Amidst the worsening climate crisis, this panel explores the environmental consequences of the generative AI boom, from rapid increases in energy consumption to the strain that data centers place on municipal water systems. We will discuss best practices for developing AI-related environmental guardrails and how policy solutions can effectively center the needs of marginalized populations.

We’ll explore the convergence of the worsening climate crisis and the “AI boom”; unpack concerns about how AI use will impact workers; and discuss the consequence of racial bias in AI tools across sectors, from the criminal legal system to healthcare. Through engaging panel discussions, we’ll discuss best practices for developing AI-related guardrails, asking what is still needed to protect the marginalized communities disproportionately affected by climate disaster, safeguard workers’ rights, and ensure the just and reliable provision of healthcare. Attendees will have the opportunity to hear from preeminent experts in various fields and plug into meaningful conversations about how emerging technologies shape our lives—from our personal health outcomes to the places where we, and our families, live, work, play, and learn.   Co-organized By

After Schedule I: Federal Psychedelic Rescheduling and the Impact on State Law

FREE
  • Instructor(s):  BCLT

Monday, November 17 | 1:00 - 2:00 pm (PT) | ZoomBCLT Life Sciences Law & Policy Center 1.00 General CLE Credit Available Program Info | Resources Psychedelics have long been legally inaccessible. That might change soon. Join us as we explore the complex legal and regulatory pathway for psychedelic drug rescheduling. As promising clinical trial data for substances like psilocybin and MDMA emerges, a critical question remains: how should these compounds move from Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act to become accessible medical treatments? This discussion aims to demystify the rescheduling process and the central role of the FDA in that evaluation, featuring experts from the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS), Porta Sophia, and New Approach PAC. We will also analyze the downstream consequences, including how state-level "trigger laws" might automatically — or fail to automatically — conform to a new federal schedule, creating a complex patchwork of state and federal legality.
