The Data Points: Ideas on Data, Law, and Society Lecture Series is an ongoing event organized by the Program on Data and Governance at The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law. Since 2016, this series has convened national thought leaders to engage audiences on pressing issues at the intersection of artificial intelligence, law, and society.

The series covers a diverse range of topics, including the impact of AI on art and culture, reproductive health privacy post-Roe, global AI policy and regulation, and racial bias in algorithms. These discussions aim to enhance public understanding of how best to govern AI to realize its benefits while mitigating its risks.

Each lecture typically features a prominent speaker, such as Daniel Susser, Associate Professor of Information Sciences at Cornell University, and Lee Tiedrich, Executive in Residence at Duke University's Pratt School of Engineering. The events are designed to foster dialogue among faculty, students, attorneys, business executives, technologists, and policymakers.

The Data Points Lecture Series is ideal for individuals interested in the evolving relationship between data, law, and society. Attendees gain valuable insights into current challenges and developments in AI governance, making it a valuable opportunity for professionals and scholars in related fields.
