Delighted to join Fordham University School of Law’s Decennial Fellows for their Spring 2025 Roundtable Series. The Decennial Fellows Program, hosted by Fordham’s Center on Law and Information Policy (CLIP) at Fordham Law School, brings together top law students focusing on technology, privacy, cybersecurity, and AI. Thank you to Andrea Flink for inviting me!

At the request of several Fellows, I addressed issues such as how global jurisdictions approach AI regulation, what it means to be “original” in the age of machine creativity, and how law can re-engage with creators through compensation, contract, and tort frameworks. I outlined a comparative framework for understanding regulatory approaches across the U.S. (market-driven), EU (rights-driven), and Asia (growth-driven). I emphasized the need to “reskill, remunerate, and re-engage” stakeholders impacted by AI. I also discussed developments such as Nightshade, the use of synthetic data, NIL (name, image, likeness) issues, and legal responses to ingestion-based infringement.

In a recent op-ed in The Conversation U.S., I examined the far-reaching consequences of repealing Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, the foundational law often credited with building the modern internet.

From the chilling effect on free expression to the potential unraveling of content moderation practices, his analysis illuminates how platforms like Reddit, Inc., Yelp, and TikTok — and the users who rely on them — would be affected in a post-230 landscape.

Thanks to Eric Smalley for the opportunity to contribute to the conversation!

Honored to participate in Penn State Dickinson Law’s Admitted Students’ Day. The students who joined us came with engaging and thought-provoking questions. It was a treat sharing the panel with Laura H. Williams, Rebecca Schreiber, M.Ed, Kristen Ramillano, and Ethan Kincaid.

It is one of several we hosted this semester.

Delighted 성균관대학교(Sungkyunkwan University) Law Professor Patricia A. Goedde spoke at 2nd 성균관대학교(Sungkyunkwan University)-Penn State Dickinson Law lecture this week. The virtual lecture was open to Penn State Dickinson Law communities at both locations and the Sungkyunkwan community and a good number joined us.

Dean Danielle Conway welcomed Professor Goedde and noted the significance of Sungkyunkwan’s name – “an institute to make a harmonious society.”

Professor Goedde delivered a thought-provoking lecture titled “Institutional Pathways for Public Interest Lawyering in South Korea.” Her expertise and commitment to human rights and public interest advocacy were evident throughout her talk. It was especially meaningful to hear her thoughts on the evolving institutional landscape—from public interest law firms to law firm pro bono centers—and the role of legal education in supporting this vital work. The continuous stream of questions and comments spoke volumes about the interest Professor Goedde’s talk generated.
