Description

AI isn’t just a technical challenge—it’s a legal revolution.

In this episode of How Hard Can It Be?, host Alex Schlager sits down with Jerry Silber, Adjunct Professor at Pace University Law School, former Deputy General Counsel at Verizon, and a leading AI policy and ethics advocate.

Jerry brings nearly three decades of legal expertise to the fast-evolving world of AI governance. He serves on AI 2030’s Governance Committee, was named AI 2030 Advisor of the Year, and is the author of AI and the Law. His work spans AI liability, contracts, intellectual property, cross-border regulation, and the emerging risks of autonomous agents.

Together, we explore:

• How AI autonomy challenges existing legal and regulatory frameworks
• What liability, contracts, and insurance look like when AI agents act independently
• The state of AI governance across the U.S., UN, and G20 policy discussions
• The real-world legal risks of agentic assistants in law and enterprise
• What every company must do legally before deploying agentic AI at scale

If you’re a Fortune 500 leader, CISO, or policy professional, this episode will give you critical insight into the legal and governance guardrails needed for safe and scalable AI adoption.
