Thank you, Matt for such a cogent, in-depth, and generous review of our work! Your own path-breaking work has been so foundational for my scholarship. It's an honor!

"AI technology appears to outperform humans. But a closer look reveals that these games are rigged. The competitions do not actually ask machines to perform human tasks; it’s more accurate to say that they ask humans to behave in machine-like ways as they perform lifeless simulacra of human tasks."

With truly great help from you! Although I have to add that it's more of a colloquium and not a full-blown conference yet. Hopefully with more funding, we can make it a conference in the future!

Twas the afternoon before the Thrower Symposium and all through the law school many creatures were scurrying to finalize preparations... As we settled in for a short winter nap (it'll be 70F in Atlanta today), we excitedly thought of "The Regulation of Digital Platforms and Addictive Technologies"

I recently saw someone write "A.i" and I want to deploy all scholars to adopt this stylization of the abbreviation for "artificial intelligence." I find it particularly apt (and accurately descriptive) at not making too much of the "intelligence" part....

Highly incisive: "More importantly, privacy essentialism often leads to law and policy that ignores important privacy problems and neglects serious privacy harms because they do not readily fit within the narrow boundaries of a particular conception of privacy."

This ruling is wild: "Congress did not pass the Exchange Act for the purpose of maximizing shareholder wealth. It passed the Act to protect investors from fraud, manipulation, speculation, and anticompetitive exchange behavior. Firm performance has little to do with those objectives." Really?! 🤨

The definition of "employee" hinges on level of employer control. The contestants have their days planned for them, actions tightly controlled. They are not allowed communications with the outside world while in the pods. Also, they all have to drink from the same gold/brass wine cups...#loveisblind

Audits take long when the systems are not *designed* to support them. In several papers, I note the issue of ex post vs. ex ante regulations. Ex ante regulations include "fairness by design" features (built in to allow for easy audits for example. See, www.law.georgetown.edu/georgetown-l...

Prof. Ifeoma Ajunwa, J.D., LL.M., Ph.D. @iajunwa.bsky.social · 09/12/2024
We can try. Pre-clearance audits don't try to keep up at all since it's a one and done. But seriously, the main check/regulation will have to be design based but with the expectation that even the design requirements will be ever-evolving as the tech progresses.

Prof. Ifeoma Ajunwa, J.D., LL.M., Ph.D. @iajunwa.bsky.social · 09/12/2024
I agree! That's why my paper argues for auditing design features.
