This was new territory for me. It turns out that so many of the things that so many of the things taught in business school and sales workshops throughout that industry had their origins in the innovations that Mike brought to the industry. Before Mike's work, sales was always seen as "pitching products." Mike simple yet profound innovation flipped that approach onto its head - successful sellers don't move products, they solve industry problems by helping workers find solutions.Mike Bosworth is well known throughout the business sales world as a trainer, speaker, and the author of best selling sales books Solution Selling: Creating Buyers in Difficult Selling Markets (McGraw-Hill, 1993), What Great Salespeople Do: The Science of Selling Through Emotional Connection and the Power of Story (McGraw-Hill, 2011) and co-author of CustomerCentric Selling (McGraw-Hill, 2003). Mike founded and grew one of the most successful virtual businesses in the B2B arena. After 10 years with Xerox Computer Services and one year with a software start-up, he founded Solution Selling® in 1983, began adding licensing his intellectual property to affiliates in 1988 and by the time he sold it in 1999, over 50 affiliates were contributing royalty income in excess of $2.8M annually. Mike began building Story Leaders™ as a framework for building emotional connection in 2008 and published a new book, What Great Salespeople Do, the Science of Selling Through Emotional Connection and the Power of Story in January, 2012. In January 2013, Mike founded Mike Bosworth Leadership. MBL currently has eight affiliates who sell and deliver his Story Seekers™ workshops.Bosworth has a degree in Business Management and Marketing from California State Polytechnic University. In addition to his keynote speaking for professional associations and major corporations, he has been a featured lecturer at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, The Stanford Program on Market Strategy for Technology-Based Companies, The American Marketing Association Customer Message Management Forums, The Anderson School Of Management At UCLA, the Paul Merage School of Business at UC Irvine, The University of Connecticut and Rollins College to name a few. He is certified (CMC) by the Institute of Management Consultants. Michael T. Bosworth is a cofounder of CustomerCentric Systems®, LLC. He has assisted clients in improving sales effectiveness and shaping customer experience since 1983

This week on The Geek in Review, we discuss the future of legal technology with Dr. Megan Ma, a distinguished research fellow and Associate Director of the Stanford Program in Law, Science, and Technology at the Stanford Center for Legal Informatics, also known as Codex. Dr. Ma's groundbreaking work in integrating generative AI into legal applications takes center stage as she shares her insights on translating legal knowledge into code and the implications of human-machine collaboration in the legal field. Dr. Ma discusses her unique background in law and linguistics, emphasizing the challenges of translating legal language into deterministic computer code. Her fascination with language and its nuances has inspired her research at Codex, where she explores how legal concepts can be effectively communicated through technology. She recounts her academic journey, explaining how her multilingual skills and interest in natural language processing have shaped her approach to developing legal tech solutions. At Codex, the mission is to empower the legal system through innovative technology. Dr. Ma describes Codex as a collaborative hub, where experts from various fields work together to address inefficiencies and pain points in the legal system. She highlights the center's commitment to human-centered design, ensuring that their technological advancements are co-created with relevant stakeholders. This approach ensures that the tools and solutions developed at Codex are practical and beneficial for both lawyers and clients. One of the standout initiatives at Codex is their mentorship model, designed to mirror the traditional mentorship found in law firms. Dr. Ma explains how they use AI to create legal personas based on the redline practices of experienced partners. This innovative approach allows junior associates to receive focused guidance, helping them improve their skills and knowledge in a more efficient and impactful manner. By integrating AI into the mentorship process, Codex aims to bridge the gap between theoretical legal education and practical experience. Dr. Ma introduces the concept of agentic workflows, where AI agents make autonomous decisions based on specified goals rather than predefined tasks. This dynamic interaction is particularly useful in legal negotiations, where unforeseen circumstances often arise. The negotiation model developed by Codex includes features like client rooms, expert consultations, and various levels of difficulty to simulate real-world scenarios. This hands-on training tool is designed to help young lawyers navigate complex negotiations and improve their problem-solving skills. In the Crystal Ball segment, Dr. Ma shares her vision for the future of legal technology. She emphasizes the importance of developing tools that tap into the legal brain, focusing on the process behind legal decisions rather than just the end product. By capturing the experiential knowledge of seasoned lawyers, Codex aims to create more effective and intuitive AI tools that can support the legal profession in new and innovative ways. Dr. Ma's insights highlight the potential for AI to transform the legal field, making it more efficient, accessible, and responsive to the needs of both practitioners and clients.

Jim Dempsey, who teaches cybersecurity law at UC California Berkeley Law School and serves as Senior Policy Advisor to the Stanford Program on Geopolitics, Technology, and Governance, shares his extensive knowledge and experience on the subject, providing a wealth of information on the intricacies and developments within this legal domain.Cybersecurity law is a relatively new but increasingly important area of the legal landscape. As Dempsey pointed out, the field is continually evolving, with significant strides made over the past few years in response to the growing complexity and frequency of cyber threats. One key aspect highlighted was the concept of 'reasonable cybersecurity'—a standard that demands organizations implement adequate security measures, not necessarily perfect ones, to protect against breaches and other cyber incidents. This concept parallels other industries where safety standards are continually refined and enforced.The conversation also delved into the historical context of cybersecurity law, referencing the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1986, which initially aimed to combat unauthorized access and exploitation of computer systems. Dempsey provided an enlightening historical perspective on how traditional laws have been adapted to the digital age, emphasizing the role of common law and the evolution of legal principles to meet the challenges posed by technology.One of the pivotal points of discussion was the shift in liability for cybersecurity failures. The Biden administration's National Cybersecurity Strategy of 2023 marks a significant departure from previous policies by advocating for holding software developers accountable for the security of their products, rather than placing the entire burden on end-users. This approach aims to incentivize higher standards of software development and greater accountability within the industry.The discussion also touched on the importance of corporate governance in cybersecurity. With new regulations from bodies like the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), companies are now required to disclose material cybersecurity incidents, thus emphasizing the need for collaboration between cybersecurity teams and legal departments to navigate these requirements effectively.Overall, the episode underscored the multifaceted nature of cybersecurity law, implicating not just legal frameworks but also technological standards, corporate policies, and international relations. Dempsey's insights elucidated how cybersecurity law is becoming ever more integral to various aspects of society and governance, marking its transition from a peripheral concern to a central pillar in protecting digital infrastructure and information integrity. This ongoing evolution makes it clear that cybersecurity law will continue to be a critical area of focus for legal professionals, policymakers, and businesses alike.Top Questions AddressedWhat is the importance of defining 'reasonable cybersecurity,' and how is this standard evolving?How has the shift in legal liability for cybersecurity incidents, particularly under the Biden administration, impacted the software industry?In what ways are historical legal principles, like those from the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, being adapted to meet modern cybersecurity challenges?About the BookFirst published in 2021, Cybersecurity Law Fundamentals has been completely revised and updated.U.S. cybersecurity law is rapidly changing. Since 2021, there have been major Supreme Court decisions interpreting the federal computer crime law and deeply affecting the principles of standing in data breach cases. The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted new rules for publicly traded companies on cyber incident disclosure. The Federal Trade Commission revised its cybersecurity rules under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and set out new expectations for all businesses collecting personal information. Sector-by-sector, federal regulators have issued binding cybersecurity rules for critical infrastructure, while a majority of states have adopted their own laws requiring reasonable cybersecurity controls. Executive orders have set in motion new requirements for federal contractors.All these changes and many more are addressed in the second edition of Cybersecurity Law Fundamentals, published April, 2024. The second edition is co-authored by John P. Carlin, partner at Paul Weiss and former long-time senior official of the U.S. Justice Department, where he was one of the architects of current U.S. cybersecurity policy.___________________________Watch this and other videos on ITSPmagazine's YouTube ChannelRedefining CyberSecurity Podcast with Sean Martin, CISSP playlist:

Generative AI tools are already promising to change the world. Systems like OpenAI's ChatGPT can answer complex questions, write poems and code, and even mimic famous authors with uncanny accuracy. But in using copyrighted materials to train these powerful AI products, are AI companies infringing the rights of untold creators? This season on UnCommon Law, we'll explore the intersection between artificial intelligence and the law. On episode one, we learned about the lawsuits filed against AI companies that trained their large language models on copyrighted work without permission. Now we'll learn about the legal defense that could give the AI companies a pass to continue scraping up whatever content they want, copyright-protected or not. Guests: Matthew Butterick, founder at Butterick Law, and co-counsel with the Joseph Saveri Law Firm on class-action lawsuits against OpenAI and others Isaiah Poritz, technology reporter for Bloomberg Law Matthew Sag, professor of law and artificial intelligence, machine learning and data science at Emory University School of Law Mark Lemley, professor of law at Stanford Law School and the director of the Stanford Program in Law, Science and Technology, who is also representing Meta and Stability AI in the copyright cases against them James Grimmelmann, professor of digital and information law at Cornell Tech and Cornell Law School Learn more about your ad choices.

As we close out 2023, we are replaying some of our most listened to episodes. Not surprisingly, AI was the hot topic this year and as its acceptance grows, so to tough questions, like whether AI developers need permission to use copyrighted works and other IP before using it to train artificial intelligence? In a very popular episode, Professor Mark Lemley of Stanford explained whey he does not think so because he believes that copyrighted works used to train AI fall should under the fair use exception to copyright law. Professor Lemley is the Director of the Stanford Program in Law, Science and Technology, an author of seven books and more than 130 articles on intellectual property, antitrust and related areas of the law. He is also a co-founder of Lex Machina and most recently of Counsel to Lex Lumina, a boutique IP law firm. Professor Lemley argues that AI companies should be permitted to use copyrighted works to train AI models without first getting permission from owners because of the benefits AI will yield and the impossibility of tracking down millions of copyright owners to get permission. He also believes that it is a fair use for AI developers to use works protected by intellectual property laws to train artificial intelligence models because such a use is transformative and the more data available to the AI, the more accurate it will be.

What “working with humans” means to Jason “If I had to put it in one word...I would say 'care'. Working with humans is treating other human beings with care...I feel that every human life is precious. Human dignity is precious. And we need to take care of one another. And if I have the opportunity, and the privilege and the honor of working with another human, I have the duty to care.” Resources Follow: Jason on LinkedIn Visit: Jason's website Read: Humanly Possible: A New Model of Leadership for a More Inclusive World ©Michael Glazer

Additionally, he's a lecturer at the UC Berkeley School of Law, where he teaches cybersecurity law in the LL.M. program. Before joining the UC Berkeley staff, he was the Executive Director of the Berkeley Center of Law & Technology. Jim previously served as a part-time member of the US Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board — an independent agency within the federal government charged with advising senior policymakers and overseeing the nation's counterterrorism programs. Jim is the author of Cybersecurity Law Fundamentals, a summation of cybersecurity law for practitioners in the field. His other publications include “Cybersecurity Information Sharing Governance Structures: An Ecosystem of Diversity, Trust, and Tradeoffs” and “The Path to ECPA Reform and the Implications of United States v. Jones.” He also pens articles on cybersecurity for Lawfare, a non-partisan, nonprofit publication dedicated to national security issues. In this episode… With the emergence of innovative technologies, cybersecurity continues to be a topic of discussion. And as the constant evolution of AI further transforms our lives both personally and professionally, the products and services we rely on are at risk of becoming fundamentally insecure. Jim Dempsey, a cybersecurity expert, explains that many users with ill intent are on a mission to steal our information and disrupt AI technology. A particular intentional attack to be wary of is prompt injection attacks disguised as programming instructions. This occurs when a hacker hijacks a language model's output, allowing the hacker to get the model to say anything they want. There are, however, privacy and security best-practices companies can adopt as a means of prevention. In this episode of the She Said Privacy, He Said Security Podcast, Jodi and Justin Daniels welcome Jim Dempsey, the Senior Policy Advisor to the Stanford Program on Geopolitics, Technology, and Governance, to discuss the risks of AI deployment. Jim explains why Open AI is suddenly a tech phenomenon, AI's potential risks without US regulation, advice for privacy and security best practices, and more.

Is a world of inclusivity truly possible? How do we all get there? In the episode of the Creator Community, we meet professor, executive coach, and author Jason Patent, who shares his views and mistakes on creating impactful inclusivity. He openly shares he has not mastered inclusivity and has negatively impacted others in his life but knows we can do better. As humans, if we acknowledge the challenges of inclusion and see this work as a lifelong journey of constant improvement, we will find a better path forward for all of us. Key Points You already have what you need to create radically different workplaces and a radically different world. We can learn how to shift from our knee-jerk reactions and calmly respond and think collaboratively to allow everyone to shine. Power amplifies the ability to do harm to others and makes it harder for us to see the impact of our negative actions towards others. Historically, those with less power have been the ones who have had to adapt- this book flips that idea on its side and instead gives tips on how those with the power can actually adapt and give preference to those with less.

The Facebook Oversight Board—a recently-developed court of sorts that independently reviews Facebook’s decisions and policies—issued a major ruling this week, upholding the company’s initial decision to ban President Trump indefinitely, but calling on the company to come to a final decision on its suspension of Trump and similar cases with greater detail. The board also requested that Facebook clarify its policies on political leaders, do some additional fact-finding, and report back with more on its decision and rationale in six months—when the board will reconsider the ban. Host Jeffrey Rosen considered the impact of the decision for the future of digital speech with two experts who have done path-breaking work on the Facebook Oversight Board: Kate Klonick, assistant professor of law at St. John’s Law School who spent a year embedded with the Oversight Board as it was being developed, and Nate Persily, Professor of Law at Stanford Law School and co-director of the Stanford Program on Democracy and the Internet.

At 12 years old, Jonathan D. Greenberg was leafing through his family’s Life magazine when, to his horror, he came across images of the My Lai massacre in Vietnam. These evoked other haunting images he’d seen before—the civil war and famine in Biafra, and the Watts riots in Los Angeles, just on the other side of town from where his family was living. These senseless acts of violence disturbed and alarmed his sensitive heart. Inspired by his rabbi, Leonard Beerman, who was outspoken against the Vietnam War as well as against inequality in the United States, Greenberg, still in middle school, participated in his first protest against the Vietnam War. The passion and empowerment he felt would come to ignite a lifelong calling in restorative justice and human rights. In 2018, Greenberg co-founded the Institute for Nonviolence and Social Justice at the University of San Francisco, whose purpose is to “disseminate the teachings and strategies of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Mahatma Gandhi in response to the moral emergencies of the 21st century.” The institute aims to serve students, activists, and thinkers to advance the theory and practice of transformational nonviolence—as a means to powerfully confront and overcome injustice and systemic violence and contribute to the just resolution of communal conflict. Greenberg founded the institute with his friend and colleague Dr. Clarence B. Jones, who served as Dr. King’s lawyer, strategic adviser, and draft speechwriter from 1960 until Dr. King’s assassination in 1968, having spent countless hours together “in crisis and action, negotiation and decision, intimate conversation and prayer.” Prior the Institute, Greenberg spent more than 30 years researching, writing, and teaching, primarily at Stanford Law School and the Stanford Program in Public Policy. His teaching stood out for its direct, experiential formats. For example, in a favorite course at Stanford’s International Conflict and Negotiation Center, he arranged for students to spend a weekend together, holed up in the mountains, to mock-negotiate an end to the Serbian-Kosovo conflict. The close quarters and the diversity of students—which included an Israeli and a Palestinian lawyer—made for lively engagement, with students laboring into the night. “This is the space where I come alive,” Greenberg said, “in those moments of true connection, soul to soul.” Greenberg also directed a research project on Martin Luther King, Jr., at Stanford’s Daniel Martin Gould Center for Conflict Resolution, and served as faculty at Stanford’s Center for African Studies and Center for Latin American Studies. Today, Greenberg focuses his life-long study of Dr. King and Gandhi as the director of the USF Institute for Nonviolence and Social Justice, where he explores a wide scope of issues: racial inequities, women’s issues, Myanmar, democracy crackdowns in Hong Kong, to name a few. In each case, he focuses on the transformative power of organized, disciplined nonviolence the face of injustice. His leadership in Step Up on Second, a community-based organization that provides permanent housing for homeless adults living with mental illness in California and the greater United States echoes this wide scope. Please join Janessa Wilder in conversation with this public servant for peace and nonviolence.

Aaron Freiwald, Managing Partner of Freiwald Law and host of the weekly podcast, Good Law | Bad Law, is joined by Professor Henry T. (Hank) Greely, of Stanford Law School, to discuss gene editing, the bioethics involved in gene manipulation, the legal considerations of developing new biotechnologies, CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats), the line between good and bad, and quite literally, the future of humanity. What does the birth of babies whose embryos have gone through genome editing mean—for science and for all of us? Professor Hank Greely explores this question and more in his new book, CRISPR People: The Science and Ethics of Editing Humans. Hank’s new book comes out February 16th and today he and Aaron discuss CRISPR capabilities, the potential “butterfly affect” editing genes may have, and what the ethical concerns are surrounding gene manipulation. In his upcoming book, Professor Greely tells the fascinating story of He Jiankui’s 2018 human experiment and its consequences; he explains what He Jiankui did, how he did it, and how the public and other scientists learned about and reacted to this unprecedented genetic intervention. Today, Hank talks about this further, and the conversation revolves around He Jiankui’s 2018 experiment, today’s COVID vaccines, DNA, RNA, and MRNA. Hank explains how he feels about “slippery slopes” and expresses his opinions and predictions about what will happen with this new technology. Are we playing God? A graduate of both Stanford University and Yale Law School, Hank Greely is the Dean F. and Kate Edelman Johnson Professor of Law; Director of the Center for Law and the Biosciences; Professor, by courtesy, of Genetics, Chair of the Steering Committee of the Center for Biomedical Ethics; and the Director of the Stanford Program in Neuroscience and Society.

In this episode, Camilla Hrdy, Associate Professor of Law at the University of Akron School of Law, and Mark A. Lemley, William H. Neukom Professor of Law at Stanford Law School and Director of the Stanford Program in Law, Science and Technology, discuss their article "Abandoning Trade Secrets," which will be published in the Stanford Law Review. They begin by explaining what trade secrets are and what they protect. They describe the conventional association of trade secrets with patents and observe that analogizing to trademark could be more helpful. They argue that trade secret law should draw on the trademark abandonment doctrine, and explain how it would improve trade secret policy. Hrdy is on Twitter at @CamillaHrdy and Lemley is on Twitter at @marklemley. This episode was hosted by Brian L.

August Bradley's guest is Hank Greely, a Stanford Law School professor specializing in the ethical, legal, and social implications of new biomedical technologies, particularly those related to genetics and neuroscience. Hank frequently serves as an advisor on policy issues — he's the chair of California’s Human Stem Cell Research Advisory Committee, a member of the Advisory Council on the NIH’s National Institute for General Medical Sciences, a member of the Committee on Science, Technology, and Law of the National Academies, and a member of the Neuroscience Forum at the Institute of Medicine. He chairs the steering committee for the Stanford Center for Biomedical Ethics and directs both the Stanford law school’s Center for Law and the Biosciences, and the Stanford Program in Neuroscience and Society. His book "The End of Sex and the Future of Human Reproduction" gives us a look at the future of making babies through new technologies.

(Repeat) The biotech tool CRISPR lets us do more than shuffle genes. Researchers have embedded an animated GIF into a living organism's DNA, proving that the molecule is a great repository for information. This has encouraged speculation that DNA could be used by aliens to send messages. Meanwhile, nature has seized on this powerful storage system in surprising ways. Scientists have learned that the 98% of our genome – once dismissed as “junk” – contains valuable genetic treasure. Find out what project ENCODE is learning about the “dark genome.” Plus, how viruses became the original stealth coders, inserting their DNA into ancient bacteria and eventually leading to the development of CRISPR technology. Discover the potential of this powerful tool, from curing disease to making pig organs transplant-friendly, and the possible dark side of quick-and-easy gene editing.

Designing Your Life, which became an instant #1 New York Times bestseller in the fall. Co-author Dave Evans is the designer of the Apple mouse and co-founder of Electronic Arts, and the developer of Stanford’s most popular class. Designing Your Life provides readers with a step-by-step process for figuring out “what they want, who they want to grow into, and how to create a life they love.” I am setting up some interviews for Dave this month to talk about applying the DYL principles to help new college graduates navigate career decision making by giving them a tool kit to try out (AKA prototype) different careers and offer strategies on how to land a job. Just in time for College Graduation Season: What do you want to do with the rest of your life? Whether you’re 22 or 50, this is the question most of us agonize, worry, and speculate about, often leaving us stuck. #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Graduates from college have been “winning” at school for the past twenty-two years, but LIFE and WORK are a new game. College grads need to build new skillsets, and fast. Enter Dave Evans (designer of the Apple mouse and co-founder of Electronic Arts) and Bill Burnett (head of the design program at Stanford), developers of Stanford’s most popular class and the authors of the book based on it: DESIGNING YOUR LIFE: How to Build a Well-Lived, Joyful Life. Based on the most popular class at Stanford University, DESIGNING YOUR LIFE provides readers with a step-by-step process for figuring out “what they want, who they want to grow into, and how to create a life they love.” Many recent graduates find themselves in an “option prison” – they went to college so that they’d graduate and have lots of options, but now are in a position of having to make decisions that narrow the field. (Do I want to be a teacher? Work in finance? Code for a tech company? What if I don’t like what I pick? Maybe I’ll just go to grad school and delay the decision, keep on keeping my options open…) DESIGNING YOUR LIFE helps graduates navigate decision making by giving them a tool kit to try out (AKA prototype) different careers and offering strategies on how to choose well. In development for over 9 years, proven with thousands of college and professional users (including many workshops at Google) and validated through two educational research studies, the DYL methodology is highly accessible and it works. How to Land a Job Most of us – especially recent graduates – fall prey to the same mistakes as we network and seek employment. Some tips from DESIGNING YOUR LIFE: The standard model of job-seeking – apply online via HR or an online job portal or platform – does not work for most applicants. 52% of employers do not even respond to half of the applicants for a job. With online applications now the norm, it’s hard to get your resume onto someone’s desk, let alone get an interview. How to maximize your chances when applying online: DYL has concrete tips on how to understand and craft your letter/resume to fit a specific job description; how to write your resume so that it optimizes the chance it will be pulled from the pile; and how to read between the lines of job descriptions. Most great jobs aren’t listed online (interesting startup jobs; jobs at small companies with fewer than 50 employees (and no HR department); companies with such a pool of interested workers they don’t need to post, etc). Don’t just rely on online listings. Network! How to network – even if you don’t think you know anyone or don’t have a connection to the companies or people you want to work with. (Trust us – you can find a way in!) DYL teaches you how to maximize your own network (fellow students/graduation; former classmates; family friends; colleagues from internships, etc.) to get to opportunities you are eager to explore; how to leverage Google and LinkedIn to find contacts at organizations you’d be interested in working for; and—most critically—how to network in a way that WORKS.

Colleges must help students find their passions., Washington Post Design Your Way to a Happier Life, The Wall Street Journal www.designingyour.life Twitter: @DYourLife / @DaveEvansDYL Video of the authors talking about the book and ideas here ABOUT THE AUTHOR: DAVE EVANS is an adjunct lecturer in the Product Design Program at Stanford, a management consultant, and a co-founder of Electronic Arts. After 15 years as tech exec, Dave decided his real mission was to help others find and pursue theirs. So he went out on his own working with start-up executive teams, some large corporate clients, but also with countless young adults. They were all asking the same question. “What should I do with my life and why?” Helping people get traction on that question continues to be Dave’s real work, which he finds is most enjoyable and effectively done in the university setting. Dave taught a course for eight years at UC Berkeley entitled How to Find Your Vocation (aka: Is Your Calling Calling?) and has been a Lecturer in the Stanford Program in Design since 2007. Dave holds a BS and MS in Mechanical Engineering from Stanford and a graduate diploma in Contemplative Spirituality from San Francisco Theological Seminary.
As technology continues to permeate society more and more,companies are exploring how advancements in tech can improve thelegal profession. Many of these institutions are researching waysto make the legal system more efficient for all stakeholdersthrough information technology. Where can lawyers who areinterested in this growth industry learn about the progress beingmade from thought leaders in the field?In this episode of Law Technology Now,host Monica Bay speaks with Stanford Program inLaw, Science and Technology Executive Director Roland Vogl aboutthe upcoming 2016 CodeX FutureLaw Conference. Roland reflects onhis time as a student in The Stanford Program in InternationalLegal Studies (SPILS) and how that path led him to work as anintellectual property lawyer and ultimately a Lecturer in Law atStanford Law School. He then explains the creation of The StanfordCenter for Computers and the Law - CodeX, their growing interest inbig data law, machine learning, and natural language processing inthe law, and their aim to facilitate legal empowerment throughinformation technology. The conversation then shifts to theupcoming 2016 CodeX FutureLaw Conference and the panels, such as“Moot Court 2020: Legal Tech on Trial,” that will be presented.Roland wraps up the interview with a discussion of diversity in theprofession, the lack of women presenting at conferences, and theefforts CodeX is making to ensure greater diversity at theirs.Dr. Roland Vogl is currently the executivedirector of the Stanford Program in Law, Science and Technology(LST) and is a lecturer in law at Stanford Law School.
