Weekly Media Update

Week of April 3, 2026

Tracing the Evolving Law and Business of TV

Reflecting on 100 years of television, Christopher Yoo provides an overview of TV’s shifting legal landscape in the final article in Penn Today’s series on a century of television history. “Congress may eventually have to enact a statute that brings all of the various types of video distribution into a single, consistent regulatory framework, because right now, the idea that online video distributors like Netflix and Hulu do not compete with cable is nonsense,” Yoo says.

AI + Us featuring Konrad Kording and Bhuvnesh Jain

On April 15th, Konrad Kording will discuss how AI could help diagnose conditions like cerebral palsy using patient videos, and what that suggests about a future in which AI supports many kinds of medical diagnosis. He will also explore how AI can act as a thought partner by helping researchers test new ideas, spot weaknesses, and refine their thinking. Following the talk, Bhuvnesh Jain will moderate an open Q&A, giving attendees the chance to ask questions, share perspectives, and engage directly with experts in an informal setting.
