In this episode, host Gwyneth Shaw talks with Professors Tejas N. Narechania and Rebecca Wexler about artificial intelligence from two very different perspectives. Both are faculty co-directors of the Berkeley Center for Law & Technology (BCLT), Berkeley Law’s tech law hub and a leader in the field for more than a quarter-century.
Narechania’s research focus is on the institutions of technology law and policy, including telecommunications regulation, platform governance, and intellectual property. He has advised the Federal Communications Commission, where he spent a year as special counsel, on network neutrality matters, and is the co-director of the Artificial Intelligence, Platforms, and Society Project, a collaboration between BCLT and the CITRIS Policy Lab. In January, he participated in a meeting at the White House of experts about competition policy and AI, and his recent work on AI was cited in the 2024 Economic Report of the President.
Wexler’s teaching and research focuses on data, technology, and secrecy in the criminal legal system, with a particular emphasis on evidence law, trade secret law, and data privacy. Her scholarly theories have twice been proposed for codification into federal law and litigated in multiple courts. In the spring of 2023, she was a senior policy advisor at the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, and earlier this year she testified before a U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee subcommittee hearing on the use of artificial intelligence in criminal investigations and prosecutions.
“Berkeley Law Voices Carry” is a podcast hosted by Gwyneth Shaw in the Berkeley Law Communications Office about how the school’s faculty, students, and staff are making an impact — in California, across the country, and around the world — through pathbreaking scholarship, hands-on legal training, and advocacy.
