On February 21 at GW Law, the George Washington Journal of Law & Technology (GW JOLT) hosted its inaugural symposium on the Future of AI and Surveillance.

Scholars from universities across the country joined GW Law professors Daniel Solove, Kate Weisburd, Spencer Overton, Alicia Solow-Niederman, and Dean Dayna Bowen Matthew to delve into the critical issues shaping the current and future landscape of AI law, legal scholarship, and public policy. Attendees joined three panel sessions on The Challenges of AI, Mass Surveillance, and Searches and Other Criminal Law Impacts.

This year’s symposium was the first annual for GW JOLT—an independent, online-only journal of legal scholarship. GW JOLT is the flagship student-run technology journal at GW Law. The journal is affiliated with the GW Center for Law and Technology, an unparalleled center of excellence in education and thought leadership in intellectual property, privacy, AI, and technology law.
