BU Law Global Legal Exchange: Upcoming Virtual Talks
How AI Destroys Institutions
Speakers: Jessica Silbey and Woody Hartzog
Join us for a timely and thought-provoking workshop featuring BU Law’s preeminent scholars, Jessica Silbey and Woody Hartzog, as they examine how AI systems are reshaping—and potentially undermining—core civic institutions such as the rule of law, universities, and the free press.
Drawing on their recent work, they will explore how AI’s design can erode expertise, short-circuit deliberation, weaken accountability, and disrupt the relationships that sustain democratic life. This program invites critical reflection on what is at stake—and what must be done to preserve the institutional foundations of democracy in the age of AI.
Professor Jessica Silbey focuses on intellectual property, technology law, constitutional law, and law and the humanities. In addition to a law degree, she holds a PhD in comparative literature. Her work explores how law shapes creativity, innovation, and cultural production. She is the author of Against Progress: Intellectual Property and Fundamental Values in the Internet Age (2022) and The Eureka Myth: Creators, Innovators and Everyday Intellectual Property (2015), and her research examines the role of intellectual property in debates about social justice, technology, and culture. Professor Silbey served as a law clerk to Judge Robert E. Keeton of the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts and Judge Levin Campbell of the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. Before becoming a law professor, she practiced law in the disputes department of the Boston office of Foley Hoag LLP, focusing on intellectual property, bankruptcy, and reproductive rights.
Professor Woody Hartzog is an internationally recognized scholar in privacy and technology law. His research focuses on personal data, technology design, and data governance, with publications in leading journals such as the Yale Law Journal, Columbia Law Review, and University of Chicago Law Review. He is the author of Privacy’s Blueprint: The Battle to Control the Design of New Technologies (2018) and co-author of Breached! Why Data Security Law Fails and How to Improve It (2022, with Daniel Solove). Professor Hartzog has testified before Congress on data privacy issues and is affiliated with several leading research centers, including Harvard’s Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society. He previously worked as an attorney in private practice and as a trademark attorney for the United States Patent and Trademark Office, and served as a clerk for the Electronic Privacy Information Center.
This live online talk is part of the BU Law Global Legal Exchange lecture series, an initiative designed to foster collaboration, learning, and exchange among our partner law schools, colleagues, prospective students, alumni, and curious learners worldwide.

Professor Jack Beermann is a leading scholar in administrative law and civil rights litigation.
