In this episode Andrew Vaziri speaks with Nicolas Economou, CEO of the eDiscovery company H5 and co-founder and chair of the Science, Law and Society Initiative at Harvard's Kennedy School. Economou discusses how AI is applied in the legal system, as well as some of the key points from the recent "Global Governance of AI Roundtable". The roundtable, hosted by the government of the UAE and Harvard's Kennedy school, brought together a diverse group of leaders from tech companies, governments, and academia to discuss the societal implications of AI. Nicolas Economou is the chief executive of H5 and was a pioneer in advocating the application of scientific methods to electronic discovery. He contributes actively to advancing dialogue on public policy challenges at the intersection of law, science, and technology.

I recently spoke at a panel/debate at the World Government Summit in Dubai and also attended the AI Roundtable organized by the AI society at Harvard Kennedy school of government. The topic discussed was "Is a machine-driven world better? I was on the side of the Machines. Not an easy debate – someone referred to us as the'evil team'! After the panel, I shared my thoughts with Gregory Piatetsky Shapiro. Gregory motivated me to also consider the contra perspective i.e. the risks of an AI driven world.
