Alisa Hall advises technology companies on artificial intelligence governance, data privacy, consumer protection, and intellectual property law. She brings more than a decade of experience as legal counsel at leading technology companies, giving her a practitioner's understanding of the regulatory, product, and engineering considerations that shape AI and privacy risk management.

Prior to founding Jackson Hall Strategies, Alisa led Meta's Generative AI product legal team, advising on the development and launch of Meta AI and the LLaMA model family, including regulatory engagement, product counseling, and cross-functional legal support for AI research and deployment. Before her generative AI remit, Alisa led privacy counseling for a portfolio of Meta's consumer platforms and business lines.

Before Meta, Alisa spent six years at eBay where her practice spanned both privacy and litigation. She built privacy compliance programs from the ground up for foundational regulations including CCPA and led a privacy advisory team as Director of Privacy & Privacy Compliance. As Senior Litigation Counsel, she managed high-profile intellectual property disputes, regulatory investigations, and consumer class actions, giving her an unusually broad view of how legal risk manifests across the enterprise.

Alisa began her legal career on Capitol Hill, where she drafted federal privacy legislation—a background that informs her approach to regulatory strategy and policy engagement. She received her J.D. from The George Washington University Law School and is admitted to the bars of California and Massachusetts.

Ethan Bueno de Mesquita is the Dean and Sydney Stein Professor at the University of Chicago Harris School of Public Policy. His research applies game theory to the study of national security, elections, and tech policy. He writes and advises leaders in the public and private sectors on both national security matters and issues concerning tech governance, policy, and strategy.

He is the author of three books—Political Economy for Public Policy, Theory and Credibility, and Thinking Clearly with Data—as well as many articles in political science and economics. His work has been supported by the National Science Foundation, the Office of Naval Research, and the United States Institute of Peace. He is also the co-host of the Not Another Politics Podcast.

Before joining the University of Chicago faculty, Bueno de Mesquita taught in the political science department at Washington University in St. Louis. He earned his B.A. from the University of Chicago, and his MA and PhD from Harvard University.

Andy Hall is the Davies Family Professor of Political Economy at the Stanford Graduate School of Business and a Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution. He is an expert on designing governance systems for the online and offline worlds and helping organizations build, sell, and govern products in ways that work for them and for society. He has published more than 30 peer-reviewed articles in top social scientific journals, and is the author of a critically acclaimed book on the root causes of polarization in American government.

As well as being a tenured professor, Andy is deeply embedded in the tech industry, where he has advised senior leaders in policy, product, and business teams on a range of strategy and policy issues. This includes work to measure user preferences, assign users voting power over consequential decisions, leverage crowdsourcing, and give users incentives to participate in shared governance. Currently, Hall serves as an advisor to the Wearables Business Group at Meta Platforms, Inc, where he works on strategy problems at the intersection of AI, AR, and social media, and to the a16z crypto research group, where he helps crypto companies to design their decentralized governance structures.
