Scintillating discussion on "Conversations with Consequences" this week with @NotreDame Law Professor Paolo Carozza (and Oversight Board Co-Chair of @Meta) on Magnifica Humanitas and AI:
"We never speak without there being implicitly and behind every word that we're saying, some implicit understanding of what reality is, what humanity is, what's important and what's not important, what's to be valued and what's not to be valued. And therefore, that's true of these the use of language by these technologies as well.
And that that's where it gets extremely sensitive because that introduces the question of control and power. Who's training them? Who's deploying them? Who's setting guardrails for them? What values are they in their use of language drawing?"

ND Law Professor Jimmy Gurulé was interviewed by Bloomberg Law Radio about allegations of prosecutorial misconduct in federal grand jury proceedings and the challenges such conduct poses to public trust in the criminal justice system.
"I think it is creating a crisis of trust within the DOJ, and not only with judges, but I think more broadly with the public at large," said Professor Gurulé. "If the public starts losing trust in the criminal justice system and in the integrity of prosecutors' offices, then that does not speak well for the future of criminal justice in this country."
