Conversations on Civil Justice: Media and the Courts
Co-sponsored by the Civil Justice Research Initiative and Berkeley Judicial Institute

Over the last few years, the relationship between the media and courts in the United States seems to be undergoing rapid change. How are these changes impacting the courts and public perceptions of legal rulings?

This program will feature journalist Dahlia Lithwick, senior editor and legal correspondent for Slate, in conversation with Professor Michael W. McCann, Gordon Hirabayashi Professor for the Advancement of Citizenship at the University of Washington and the author of several prize-winning articles and books discussing the role that the media play in reporting on litigation and legal rulings.

AI, Ethics, and the Defense Industry
Co-sponsored by the Berkeley Center for Law and Technology

AI in the defense industry can conjure visions of automated weapons and killer robots. In reality, the defense industry is exploring much broader (and many mundane) AI / ML applications. How do you integrate ethical standards into product development in such a broad space? Is it even possible to develop an ethical framework that covers the entire defense industry?

Join us for a discussion with three of the world's leading experts on the legal and ethical issues surrounding AI: the Hon. James E. Baker, Karen Silverman, and H. Mark Lyon. Together they will explore these important questions, as well as discuss how the Defense Department's AI principles and implementing guidelines are being translated from paper to reality and who gets the final say in how that reality is implemented.
