About the show

At the intersection of AI and law, the ground is shifting faster than almost anyone can keep up with. Hosted by Irene Liu of Stanford Law School’s AI Initiative, AI Sidebar brings together leading academics, technologists, policymakers, lawyers, and industry leaders to unpack where AI is headed and what it means for law, business, society, and all of us. From the heart of the Bay Area, where AI is being built, debated, and put to the test, the show cuts through the noise to unpack the biggest developments shaping law, business, society, and all of us. Each episode asks the questions that matter: Who is accountable when AI calls the shots, how should we regulate powerful new tools, and what skills will tomorrow’s lawyers need? AI Sidebar is a clear, timely guide to how AI is reshaping the law and how the law may shape the future of AI.
