Podcast Hosts
This project grew from a panel session on AI and IP sponsored by the New York City Bar Association in the late spring of 2020. The panel session was organized by Roland Trope and included, among a larger group of panelists, the three other hosts of this podcast. We had so much fun working on the panel and we realized that there were so many interesting directions that we might take this work, that we decided to develop a podcast along the same lines. This website contains supporting and background material for the podcast project.
The views expressed here and in the podcast episodes are solely those of the hosts and guests individually and not of any of their employers or institutions.
