Biography

I am Eran Kahana, a lawyer with a focus on AI, cybersecurity, and intellectual property. I am also a Fellow at Stanford Law School, serve on the Advisory Board of Stanford Law School’s Stanford Artificial Intelligence & Law Society, and am an Adjunct Professor of Law at the University of Minnesota Law School.

I provide counsel to clients on a broad range of issues including AI, cybersecurity, privacy, technology law, trademarks, patents, and copyright matters. I am actively involved in various cybersecurity leadership roles and collaborate closely with the FBI, Department of Justice, Secret Service, and professionals from both private and academic sectors to establish, advocate for, and maintain leading cybersecurity practices.

At Stanford Law School, my activities include writing and lecturing on the intersection of law and AI. I am also a regular speaker at Stanford's annual Digital Economy Best Practices Conference. At the University of Minnesota Law School, I teach a course titled "AI and the Law." My insights have been recognized in Oxford University Professor Marcus Du Satoy’s book "The Creativity Code: Art and Innovation in the Age of AI." Additionally, I have been interviewed on topics such as AI, cybersecurity, privacy, and technology law by various esteemed platforms including Bloomberg Law, BBC, Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) radio, KABC radio, Minnesota Public Radio, Twin Cities Business magazine, The Star Tribune, Minnesota Lawyer, TheStreet.com, Quartz magazine, and Stanford University Radio, KZSU FM.
