In this episode, we sit down with Teresa Scassa, a Professor and the Canada Research Chair in Information Law and Policy in the University of Ottawa's Faculty of Law.

Professor Scassa has served as an advisor to the government on Intellectual property, AI, and Privacy Law, and keeps thousands of policy experts in Canada and around the world up to speed on new law through her blog: ⁠teresascassa.ca⁠. Dr. Scassa has written widely in the areas of privacy law, the regulation of artificial intelligence, data governance, and intellectual property law. Her books include The Future of Open Data; Artificial Intelligence and the Law in Canada; and Digital Commerce in Canada.

In our conversation today, we focus on AI — how a pending election in Canada will affect efforts to pass new AI regulation and how Trump's election will change the landscape for AI regulation and the industry generally in the next few years. We then shift our focus to AI and legal education, and what role she and others think AI will play in the future practice of law.
