Listen (and win): Jamie Susskind on regulation of AI

Panopticon Podcast, Episode 3: Regulation of AI (featuring Jamie Susskind)

Thanks to all who attended, contributed and gave feedback at our 2024 Conference yesterday. As a consolation for those who couldn’t make it – and to ease the withdrawal symptoms of those who did – we are happy to present the latest episode of the Panopticon Podcast, featuring Jamie Susskind on the regulation of AI.



As advances in AI technology continue apace, existing legal tools are struggling to keep up. Meanwhile, the Government has issued its consultation response on the pro-innovation approach to AI regulation, and the EU has just passed its AI Act. Jamie Susskind (author of The Digital Republic and Future Politics) speaks to Leo Davidson about the pressing need for leaders to get to grips with the social impact of AI and analyses the steps which have been taken to date.

Be sure to listen out for a reference to one of the great sages of the modern era, with personal experience of the dangers of unregulated technology: Derek Zoolander. If you recognise it, email the reference and time-stamp to panopticon@11kbw.com by the end of next week to be entered into our prize draw to win a signed copy of Jamie’s latest book, The Digital Republic. (See below for T&Cs and privacy notice.)

Congratulations in the meantime to Jerin John who won our competition from Episode 2 by spotting the quotation from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (“You get nothing, you lose, good day sir!”). You won! You did it!

Win a free place at the 11KBW Information Law Conference 2024!

We are delighted to announce that our new Panopticon Podcast will be launching tomorrow – on 22 November 2023.  Leading ITM silk and Panopticon stalwart Anya Proops KC gives me (Leo Davidson) the rundown on the new Online Safety regime and reveals what people in Chambers call me behind my back, all in 30 minutes.

But that’s not all!  Some weeks ago, when the podcast was still just a twinkle in my ear, colleagues challenged me to sneak a reference to the classic Christmas film, Die Hard, into the first episode.  So I did – and now the challenge goes out to listeners: what and where is it?

Hidden in plain sound somewhere in the episode is a reference to a line of Alan-Rickman-as-Hans-Gruber dialogue (not quite an exact quotation).  The first person to spot it and email the reference and time-stamp to panopticon@11kbw.com will win a free place at the 11KBW Information Law Conference 2024 (date TBA).

Any ideas for things to sneak into Episode 2 can be emailed to the same address…
