From its very inception, the MIT Computational Law Report has prioritized featuring rich media as one of our three modes of content, along with written works and reproducible data and software. Our two primary sources of media content are Idea Flow, a monthly video-based flash-talk and discussion video series, and The law.MIT.edu Podcast audio series. The Podcast is structured in a broadcast format, featuring interviews, creative short segments connecting computational law with everyday life, and updates from our Editor in Chief Bryan Wilson on the Computational Law Report. Idea Flow is structured as an interactive discussion series with a live audience invited from the burgeoning computational law community at MIT and beyond, anchored around short flash-talks presented by thought leaders on key emerging ideas. Helping to bring the media content of this publication forward truly is my fondest contribution as Executive Director.

Sign Up to Participate in Future IdeaFlow Computational Law Presentations
Walk through and discussion of Legal Prompt Engineering examples, showing ways to compose inputs to generative AI systems like ChatGPT and Claude to get improved outputs for law and legal processes
For more information about, and to submit your proposals for, the Collected Works on Composable Governance, announced and discussed at this workshop, see: https://law.mit.edu/composablegovernance
The workshop will include three sessions. Participants are welcome to participate in any one or more of the sessions, depending on their interests.
The first two sessions will focus on relevant use cases that are important and exist in practice. These examples use case studies include IDFederation demonstrating an integrated business/legal/technical system of a consortium of companies, and Fides, an open-source platform and language for data privacy as code. The third session will provide an introduction to legal components, automated legal systems, and composable governance.
Digital negotiation and contracting raise key issues and opportunities to advance the practice of law and the field of law. We'll discuss some of the fundamental questions raised on episode 9 of IdeaFlow.

Learn and discuss how computational law can be applied to explore ways legal informatics can foster the automation of antitrust procedures and the improvement of antitrust analysis.
Diana Stern will describe, demo, and discuss a novel approach for integrating legal and technical terms to achieve expected outcomes with NFTs. Dazza Greenwood will join Diana, after her demo, in a discussion of how her NFT approach can be extended in novel ways.
In this episode of Idea Flow, Eric Hess joins to discuss the implications of Wyoming's creation of a new legal entity, a DAO LLC. Eric will help answer policy questions about whether this is a good idea, in what circumstances is this a good thing, and in what circumstances not.

In this episode of Idea Flow, MIT Media Lab students Ziv Epstein and Robert Mahari join to discuss a new project, Artificial.FM, which uses artificial intelligence to generate music. In particular, we look at the implications this has for copyright and legal personality.
How computational law as infrastructure for complex adaptive systems can work to create a more ecological approach to the design of socio-economic contexts for our planetary and bio-regional co-existence.
The law.MIT.edu Podcast features conversations hosted by David Horrigan and Dazza Greenwood with experts and thought leaders at the cutting edge of computational law.
