The articles offer deep insights into algorithmic disgorgement, highlighting its complexities and the evolving legal landscape. The authors provide valuable frameworks for understanding how AI harms are addressed, though I wish they explored the FTCs institutional role more deeply.

Comment on Can Informed Consent Solve AI Bias? by El roam

Great one.

But, another danger lies here:

An average patient, wouldn’t understand (at first place) how exactly AI system, choosing certain treatment for him, may treat him with racial bias or whatever ? For, those are verbal propositions, without tangible and common sense for laymen.

This may nurture unjustifiable fear from such AI systems. It may cause strategic undesirable consequences.

Thanks

Comment on The Humble Vending Machine by ‘The Humble Vending Machine’ | Private Law Theory - Obligations, property, legal theory

[…] Gregory Klass, ‘How to Interpret a Vending Machine: Smart Contracts and Contract Law’, 7 Georgetown Law Technology Review (forthcoming, 2022), available at SSRN. Gregory Klass’s ‘How to Interpret a Vending Machine: Smart Contracts and Contract Law’ is an extraordinarily incisive legal analysis of smart contracts. While others have written insightfully about the relationship of smart contracts and legal contracts, Klass utterly nails a central conceptual point: When smart contracts are embedded in legal relationships, they stand in need of interpretation. Nick Szabo introduced smart contracts in the 1990s as contracts ‘embedded in the world’ such that breach is expensive or impossible … (more) […]

Comment on Confronting Surveillance by ‘Confronting Surveillance’ | Private Law Theory - Obligations, property, legal theory

[…] Amanda Levendowski, ‘Resisting Face Surveillance with Copyright Law’, 100 North Carolina Law Review (forthcoming, 2022), available at SSRN. One prevailing feature of technological development is that it is not sui generis. Rather, new technologies often mirror or reflect societal anxieties and prejudices. This is true for surveillance technologies, including those used for facial recognition. Although the practice of facial recognition might be positioned as a type of convincing evidence useful for identifying an individual, the fact remains that racial and gender biases can limit its efficacy. Scholars such as as Timnit Gebru and Joy Buolawmini have shown through empirical evidence that facial recognition systems, which are often trained on limited data, display stunningly biased inaccuracy … (more) […]

[…] Alicia Solow-Niederman, ‘Information Privacy and the Inference Economy’ (September 10, 2021), available at SSRN. A decade ago, Charles Duhigg wrote a story for the New York Times that still resonates today, revealing that Target could predict its customers’ pregnancies and delivery dates from changes in their shopping habits. This and similar revelations pose a difficult question: how do we protect vulnerable people from the power of inferences? At the time, I wondered aloud whether we ought to regulate harmful data-driven inferences and how we would do it, which sparked characteristically overheated responses from the libertarian punditry … (more) […]
