Exhibit A.I. (part II) The Rules of Evidence and Machine Testimony by The BTLJ Podcast

Join BTLJ and Fenwick and West's Eric Ball and Kimberly Culp for a discussion about the process of taking a video game case from discovery to trial

Today, we are excited to share a conversation between Berkeley Law 3L student Eric Ahern and Audrey Mitchell, a current fellow with Berkeley’s AI Policy Hub and a 2L student here. Audrey brings a unique interdisciplinary perspective to the conversation around AI and the future of litigation, combining her background in STEM with legal experience in patent litigation and public interest tech law. At Berkeley’s AI Policy Hub, Audrey has been leading innovative research on how artificial intelligence is reshaping civil and criminal litigation—and whether our current legal rules are equipped to keep up. In this episode, we will explore the impact of AI-generated evidence on courtroom procedure, how judges are grappling with issues like authentication and bias, and why procedural safeguards—like discovery and transparency—matter more than ever in the age of machine-generated proof. This episode will be Part I of a two-part series on AI and rules of evidence. Whether you're a technologist, a lawyer, or simply curious about how the law is adapting to AI, this series will offer an accessible and thought-provoking look into the legal system’s evolving relationship with artificial intelligence. We hope you enjoy the podcast!

Section 230, Free Speech and the Internet with Dean Erwin Chemerinsky by The BTLJ Podcast

Berkeley Law LLM student Franco Dellafiori, and Professor Bertrall Ross sit down to discuss how artificial intelligence will impact elections like the November 2024 one and the state of our general democracy for years to come.

Professor Ross is a Professor of Law at the University of Virginia and the Director of UVA’s Karsh Center for Law and Democracy. Previously, Professor Ross taught at our very own Berkeley Law, where he received the Rutter Award for Teaching Excellence. Professor Ross continues to be a great mentor to students by telling them, candidly, whether Chat GPT will tell them how to vote in today's democracy.

On this episode of the Berkeley Technology Law Journal, we sat down with Professor Rebecca Wexler to discuss the intersection between reproductive justice and data privacy.

In June 2022, the Supreme Court issued a ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization. Dobbs overturned Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey's holdings that the US Constitution grants a right to an abortion. Shortly thereafter, Professor Wexler co-authored with Professor Aziz Huq an article in the New York University Law Review titled “Digital Privacy for Reproductive Choice in the Post-Roe Era.

Today, Professor Wexler reflects on that piece and on the need for an evidentiary privilege to shield reproductive data from use in criminal investigations. We hope you enjoy the podcast.
