Symposium Description:
Join the Berkeley Technology Law Journal and the Berkeley Center for Law and Technology for our 7th Annual Race and Technology Symposium exploring what it means to be human when machines can read our attention, clone our voices, judge our applications, and act on our behalf. Across four expert panels, leading scholars, litigators, and policymakers will dig into:
The Last Private Place
Neural data, digital addiction, and the fight to protect the last frontier of privacy: the mind itself. Featuring Francis Shen, Matt Lawrence, and Tracy Shapiro, moderated by Vincent Joralemon.
Your Face, Your Voice, Your Self
Deepfakes, biometrics, and who controls identity when identity becomes data. Featuring Jennifer Rothman, Duncan Crabtree-Ireland, and Mary Anne Franks, moderated by Sonia Katyal.
The Black Box on Trial
Algorithmic decisions, due process, and the right to contest a verdict you can’t see inside. Featuring Rebecca Wexler, Deb Raji, and Sean Quinn, moderated by Colleen Chien.
Person, Product, Tool, or Speaker?
AI’s unsettled legal status, and what happens when old categories meet new kinds of actors. Featuring Catherine M. Sharkey, Janel Thamkul, and Dean Erwin Chemerinsky, moderated by Pam Samuelson.
