Harvard Law School Library presents a faculty book talk with author and HLS professor Cass Sunstein. This event features a discussion on his newest book, Imperfect Oracle: What AI Can and Cannot Do.
HLS Beyond Presents: The Antitrust Implications of Technology Regulation
Though technology regulation has traditionally been treated separately from antitrust concerns, panelists in this session argue that the current antitrust regimes and regulatory practices in the US and the EU have worked together to stifle competition and innovation. While navigating the critical tension between fostering innovation and mitigating risks, they will explore the need and possibility of establishing an international legal standard and shared regulatory framework to guide competitive, responsible progress.
Public Interest Tech Law and Policy: A Viable and Growing Career Path
While it’s true that the tech industry has immense control in the current political climate and offer many financially appealing jobs, there is a growing and urgent necessity for energy and legal skills to advocate for the average person in the digital age. Whether it’s working in a variety of government roles, as part of housing or immigration work, at a civil society organization, in political activism, or influencing better behavior from inside some companies, there is an opportunity and sometimes an obligation to engage in tech policy work. The widespread abuse of data and use of AI in nearly every sector demands legislative, regulatory, and legal intervention work by people with public interest as their north star. Wasserstein Fellow Ben Winters will talk about his roles in academia, government, civil society, and political groups – furthermore, he will provide a survey of job paths available for people who want to explicitly focus on tech policy as well as people looking to integrate it into any work they plan on doing. He’ll also discuss the challenges and opportunities of working on the less resourced side.
Lunch provided. Please RSVP below. Open to the HLS community.
