Kara Jeffers | Pennsylvania’s Path to Regulate Artificial Intelligence

"Daryl Lim, who teaches at Penn State Dickinson Law and is in Penn State University Penn State Center for Socially Responsible AI, laid out several priorities a committee should take when regulating AI. "Data privacy and protection are critical, especially given the vast data sets AI technologies utilize," said Lim. "Legislation must be robust in overseeing how data is collected, stored, and processed, addressing AI's unique challenges." Other areas to consider are accountability and liability for decisions made with AI, ethical standards for use and implementation into the workforce, and general regulations for using AI in the public sector."

Suzanne Harrison | “Let’s Get on the Same Page: A Framework for Aligning Private and Government Goals on IP”

"In October 2023, Penn State Dickinson Law hosted a number of stakeholders, including industry, academia, inventors, policy makers and national security advisors, to discuss many of these issues. Listening to the differing viewpoints on what needs to be done led me to put together the following list of questions that I think should be considered when discussing how to make the patent system more robust and reliable and consistent with the objective of utilizing IP for the benefit of the nation:" - Suzanne Harrison Among her many roles, Suzanne serves as a trusted advisor on our IP and Innovation Initiative's Advisory Board.

World IP Forum | Bangalore, India

Bengaluru is the home of India's tech giants. World IP Forum (WIPF) was more than an event; it was an experience that reinforced my belief in the importance of collaborating with new and existing partners. Referencing the World Economic Forum happening this week, I spoke about AI governance in the context of the governance of rights, governance of access, and governance models in the US, EU, China, and Singapore and what we could learn from each other. Now in its 12th edition, the WIPF attracted over 800 registrants globally. Congratulations to its co-founders, Jeet Agarwal and Navin Agarwal! Congratulations also to Scott Frank for receiving the Forum's 'Stalwart and Icon' award. Among his many hats, Scott is the founder of the United States Intellectual Property Alliance - USIPA, President and CEO of AT&T Intellectual Property and serves on our advisory board at Penn State Dickinson Law's IP and Innovation Initiative. Bengaluru is also the home of India's top law school, National Law School of India University.

Penn State Dickinson Law IP & Innovation Initiative | Advisory Board

One of life's greatest joys lies in collaborating with individuals whose lives and actions inspire us. When Judge Michel and I partnered with Dean Conway to form our IP and Innovation Initiative's advisory board, our mission was to bring together a small group of individuals with integrity, dedication, and a self-evident record of service and excellence who would work with us to steer Penn State Dickinson Law to make a meaningful difference to our constituents at the law school, the state of Pennsylvania, the US, and beyond. The Initiative's first in-person event compelled me to stretch my horizons beyond what I had ever done. The Penn State Dickinson Law Innovation Forum on Capitol Hill convened government leaders and engaged stakeholders in crucial conversations on topics of immediate importance to our nation's security and competitiveness, inclusive innovation, drug pricing, environmental sustainability, and stakeholder collaboration in the context of IP and innovation law and policy. In this exclusive, closed-door, off-the-record, invitation-only setting, we fostered an environment where stakeholders could candidly exchange ideas—an opportunity rarely found elsewhere. Over two days, we aimed to transcend the usual conference rhetoric and actively seek solutions to systemic challenges. I am grateful for the friendship, leadership, and unwavering support of every member who joined us on this remarkable journey. Together, we are shaping the future of IP and innovation, making a lasting impact that resonates beyond our respective institutions. Onward and upward. #InnovationLeaders #IPInitiative #CollaborationMatters
