TechReg Reading Group: Emerging Policies of the New Administration

Join the HLS Beyond and Berkman Klein Center sponsored TechReg Reading Group (TRRG) for a series of faculty guided discussions about TechReg policy developments as they are announced by the Trump Administration (White House, OMB, OSTP, Commerce, DHS, DOJ, FCC, FTC, etc.). Specific topics will likely include Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity, Privacy, Electronic Surveillance, Emerging Technologies & National Security, Internet Speech & Social Media, and International Data Flows. Topics and discussion will be guided by HLS Lecturer on Law and  Berkman Klein Center Affiliate, Alan Raul, with invited guests as topics warrant.  TRRG will meet on five Thursdays during the spring semester from 4:00 – 5:15 PM (Feb 13th, Feb 27th, March 6th, March 27th and April 3rd). The topic for each group meeting will be circulated to all participants no later than Tuesday at noon before the week’s Thursday session along with a few links to relevant policy materials or articles to help stimulate discussion. Locations will alternate between the Langdell Seminar Rooms (232/3) and Lewis 515 (Multi-Purpose Room) as indicated on the registration form (you will be reminded before each meeting). Though not offered for credit, those who attend at least 4 sessions may include the TechReg Reading Group  on resumes and CVs, showcasing your commitment to the evolving tech landscape. HLS as well as university-wide students interested in the discussion and debate of new digital policy initiatives, are welcomed. Meetings can be attended individually, but students are strongly encouraged to attend as many as possible to contribute to the development of a robust discussion. REGISTRATION REQUIRED. Snacks will be provided.
