#17 - The Future of Law With AI: Making Sense of It All [Stephen Dnes, Lawyer]

“Law does not stop innovation — but poor regulation can quietly distort it.” In this episode, Samraj speaks with Stephen Dnes, media lawyer, partner at Dnes & Felver, and lecturer in law at Royal Holloway, University of London, about one of the most important questions facing AI today: How should law assign responsibility when AI systems act, decide, and transact autonomously? Stephen brings a rare transatlantic legal perspective, having worked across UK, EU, and US competition, data, and technology regulation. Together, they explore how existing legal doctrine struggles with agentic systems, why GDPR and the EU AI Act often collide rather than complement one another, and how concepts like liability, mens rea, hazard, and risk must evolve in an AI-mediated world. The conversation moves beyond surface-level AI debates into deeper legal, economic, and philosophical territory — including how agentic contracts change verification and accountability, why today’s AI systems are better at averaging than wisdom, and what trust really means as humans gradually leave the loop. Whether you work in law, policy, advertising, technology, or AI strategy, this episode offers a rare, clear-eyed view of how legal systems may adapt to the next era of automation.
