    AI on Trial: Bot Bharara Steals Stay Tuned

    AI on Trial: Bot Bharara Steals Stay Tuned

    How might AI infringe on intellectual property and personality rights? And could AI replace Preet as the host of Stay Tuned? 

    This is the final episode of a Stay Tuned miniseries, “AI on Trial,” featuring Preet Bharara in conversation with Nita Farahany, professor of law and philosophy at Duke University.

    Preet and Nita discuss the hypothetical case of an artificial intelligence chatbot that impersonates Preet as the host of a copycat podcast, Stay Tuned with Bot Bharara. The unauthorized chatbot was trained on everything Preet has ever said or written online. Can Preet protect his intellectual property rights? Is the law on the real Preet’s side, or is it time to surrender to an AI-dominated world and collaborate with the bot?

    AI on Trial: Deepfakes v. Democracy

    AI on Trial: Deepfakes v. Democracy

    How might AI impact our elections? 

    This is the second episode of a Stay Tuned miniseries, “AI on Trial,” featuring Preet Bharara in conversation with Nita Farahany, professor of law and philosophy at Duke University.

    Preet and Nita discuss the hypothetical case of a hotly-contested Senate race. The campaigns are derailed when the leading candidate is accused of using AI to create fake videos that burnish his performance and hurt his opponent. Do existing laws, policies, and government agencies sufficiently safeguard our political process, and if not, what needs to happen to protect democracy in time for the real presidential election in November?

    CAFE Insider 3/5: A Predictable SCOTUS Ruling

    In this excerpt from the CAFE Insider podcast, Preet Bharara and Joyce Vance break down the Supreme Court’s unanimous ruling that states cannot disqualify former President Donald Trump from the ballot for his role in the January 6 insurrection and seeking to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.

    In the full episode, Preet and Joyce further discuss the Supreme Court’s decision, including Justice Clarence Thomas’s decision not to recuse himself from the matter and speculation that Justice Sonia Sotomayor initially planned to dissent from the ruling.

E J Carroll - Trump’s slandering

Has Trump paid the $5 million judgement from last year? If not, why not?
On appeal, can judges INCREASE the penalty against Trump?

Thanks, Edward Pouchet, Fairfax, VA

P.S. For only the second time, I have agreed with Donald Trump - This is America!! Someone like him will pay for his disgusting actions. The first time was when he asked - why were these prosecutions not started two years ago? This was the same question I asked myself all during 2021. He would have been in prison by now.

Hit or miss

A program on civility and we told Larry David is a good example? Respect for the host but I could not continue.

Easy question
