Description
In the wake of high-profile calls for AI regulation from tech leaders like Sam Altman and Brad Smith, domestic efforts to shape AI governance in the U.S. are becoming more urgent. Moderated by Professor Steve Tapia, this panel of legal scholars examined the evolving field of AI regulation, here from domestic sources, focusing on gaps in legal literacy, the limits of tort law, and the promise of more transparent frameworks. Panelists explored the challenges posed by the “Black Box” nature of AI, including trade secret protections, opaque algorithms, and their impact on tort causation and discrimination. They highlighted tensions between innovation, transparency, and democratic accountability, and concluded by asking how AI systems can be better aligned with constitutional and civil rights principles.
