AI, Civil Liberties, and National Security with ACLU’s Patrick Toomey

Join the National Security & Law Association for a conversation with Patrick Toomey, Deputy Director of the ACLU’s National Security Project. The conversation will be centered around how best to protect civil liberties in an era of expanding surveillance and AI-driven national security tools.

The conversation will be held in the Smith Campus Center, 10th Floor, at the “Hawk’s Nest” Conference Room. HUID required for entry.

Patrick Toomey leads the ACLU’s work on privacy and surveillance, racial and ethnic discrimination, and the use of emerging technologies like artificial intelligence in national security. He has litigated landmark cases challenging sweeping surveillance programs operated by US intelligence agencies, and has represented Asian American scientists wrongly investigated and prosecuted by the federal government. Before joining the ACLU, Toomey clerked for Judge Nancy Gertner on the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts and Judge Barrington D. Parker on the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, and practiced criminal defense, regulatory defense, and intellectual property law in New York. He is a graduate of Harvard College and Yale Law School.
