Daryl Lim

In this episode, Ted sits down with Daryl Lim, H. Laddie Montague Jr. Chair in Law at Penn State Dickinson Law, to discuss the intersection of AI, antitrust enforcement, regulation, and legal education. From AI as a forensic tool in competition law to polyphonic approaches to global regulation, Daryl shares his expertise in antitrust, intellectual property, and emerging technology. Touching on licensing, public sentiment, and the role of experimentation in academia, this conversation challenges how law professionals should prepare for an AI-driven future.

In this episode, Daryl Lim shares insights on how to:

• Use AI as a forensic and analytical tool in antitrust enforcement
• Understand polyphonic regulation and why diverse regulatory voices matter
• Anticipate how AI licensing and IP frameworks may evolve
• Factor public sentiment into copyright and regulatory outcomes
• Prepare future lawyers through experimentation and tech-forward legal education

Key takeaways:

• AI is reshaping how firms compete and how regulators enforce antitrust law
• Regulators may adopt AI faster than private actors due to enforcement incentives
• Licensing models for AI are likely to mirror developments in music and media
• Public trust and sentiment play a growing role in IP and AI governance
• Legal education must embrace experimentation to stay relevant in an AI-driven world
