I’m excited to announce this new position. It’s particularly timely as just this morning, I had breakfast with venture capitalists, founders, and others in the tech ecosystem nurtured and propelled by the founders of Emerge Americas. This is a great time to be in Miami. Here are the details.

As many of you know, I have had the honor and privilege of being the Interim Director of the Institute for Professional Leadership (IPL) at The University of Tennessee College of Law for the past three academic years.  The IPL is a special part of UT Law.  As the home of an academic program that ties various parts of the traditional law curriculum together, the IPL benefits students with a wide variety of post-graduation goals–helping them to prepare themselves for the inevitable leadership spaces they will occupy in their professional and personal lives.

I have served as Interim Director at the IPL while continuing with a full teaching schedule, scholarship agenda, and service load.  It now is time for me to step back and allow someone else to lead the IPL–someone who will devote full time to carrying out its mission.  Accordingly, we are looking for a permanent Director for the IPL.  The position announcement can be found here.  

As you can see from the position announcement, the permanent Director will be a member of the law faculty, either tenure-track or non-tenure-track.  The qualifications section of the announcement is copied in below, for your ease of reference.

Qualifications…

A few months ago, I asked whether people in the tech industry were the most powerful people in the world. This is part II of that post.

I posed that question after speaking at a tech conference in Lisbon sponsored by Microsoft. They asked me to touch on business and human rights and I presented the day after the company announced a ten billion dollar investment in OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT. Back then, we were amazed at what ChatGPT 3.5 could do. Members of the audience were excited and terrified- and these were tech people. 

And that was before the explosion of ChatGPT4. 

I’ve since made a similar presentation about AI, surveillance, social media companies to law students, engineering students, and business people. In the last few weeks, over 10,000 people including Elon Musk, have called for a 6-month pause in AI training systems. If you don’t trust Musk’s judgment (and the other scientists and futurists), trust the “Godfather of AI,” who recently quit Google so he could speak out on the dangers, even though Google has put out its own whitepaper on AI development. Watch the 60 Minutes interview with the CEO of…
