About This Event

CryptoMondays Phoenix returns to Scottsdale on Monday, November 9 for a special evening focused on AI, civil rights and the human impact of emerging technology.

Our featured guest, Jim W. Ko, will present:

Protecting Our Humanity in the AI Age:

IP & Civil Rights Law

Jim will explore how courts are beginning to confront some of the biggest questions created by AI, including:

  • Copyright and AI training

  • AI-driven employment screening and algorithmic discrimination

  • AI-powered curation, the First Amendment and Section 230

  • AI-powered surveillance and Fourth Amendment questions

  • AI governance and states’ rights

  • The rights of creators and intellectual-property owners

He’ll also introduce The AI Rights Project’s amicus, or “friend-of-the-court,” program, which files briefs in precedent-setting cases to help educate courts on the broader implications of emerging AI systems.

About Jim

Jim W. Ko is Founder & Executive Director of The AI Rights Project, Principal Attorney at Ko IP & AI Law PLLC, and Adjunct Professor at Arizona State University Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law.

Following Jim’s presentation, we’ll open the conversation for audience questions.

Stand With Crypto Arizona: 2026 Election Education Recap

We’ll also welcome Shelton from Stand With Crypto Arizona for a short recap of the chapter’s work during the 2026 election cycle.

Rather than a partisan election discussion, we’ll recognize Stand With Crypto Arizona’s efforts to educate voters, explain digital-asset policy and encourage civic participation across Arizona’s crypto community.

BitAngels: Las Vegas Pitch Event Recap

Eric from BitAngels will join us to recap the October 20 BitAngels Tokenize! pitch event in Las Vegas, including highlights from the companies, founders and conversations coming out of the event.

And then we connect.

CryptoMondays is built around the people in the room.

We keep presentations focused so there is plenty of time to meet founders, investors, builders, attorneys, creators, educators, operators and people who are simply curious about where technology is heading.

No endless panels.
No hour-long slide decks.
No hype.

Just useful ideas and good conversations.
