In this episode we discuss what the future may hold, the theme of responsible AI and  'ethical AI' and some of Erika's latest work. We address The Legal Forecast, which is an Australian not-for-profit community of law students and lawyers passionate about legal innovation. Erika also explains her recent participation at the inaugural Berkman Klein Center for Internet & Society Summer Institute, where the team's focus was indigenous people's interaction with the digital world.
