Please read @matthewbodie.bsky.social 's excellent review discussing my recent article published by the Yale Law Journal.

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!

Medical AI and Clinician Surveillance — The Risk of Becoming Quantified Workers | NEJM Many AI innovations could benefit patients and clinicians. Yet medicine should heed lessons from industries in which AI adoption has resulted in reduced autonomy for workers and inferior working co...

Hot off the press!: My new co-authored article in @NEJM
with Glenn Cohen (Harvard Law) and Ravi Parikh (Emory Med) in which we discuss the risk of A.I. being used to surveil & "quantify" health care workers.

Real TikTokers are pretending to be Veo 3 AI creations for fun, attention From music videos to “Are you a prompt?” stunts, “real” videos are presenting as AI.

Tired: required labeling of AI content that pretends to be real

Wired: required labeling of real content that pretends to be AI

Thanks for the shout-out! @womenknowlaw.bsky.social !

Very interesting! Important to note also the exploitative labor practices that go along with AI content moderation practices which are exported abroad: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Truly a pleasure presenting my book, The Quantified Worker, @uvalaw.bsky.social yesterday! An outstandingly engaged audience! Thank you to @daniellecitron.bsky.social for inviting me. Danielle, I cherish your mentorship and friendship. ❤️ And thanks also to Elizabeth Rowe for being so welcoming.

"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."

I was listening on my drive this morning! So many golden nuggets of truth and wisdom! Her latter points on A.I. really resonated with my work, especially this recent piece: www.yalelawjournal.org/forum/ai-and...

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!

The poster for the Emory Law Journal Thrower Symposium, entitled "The Regulation of Digital Platforms and Addictive Technologies."

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"

Happy MLK Day! Spent the day in service and community with others and it felt great. "Let us not be weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all..."

💯

Thursday was a recognized day of mourning
@Emorylaw for President Carter who had a longstanding relationship with the law school including receiving an honorary degree. May he rest in perfect peace. 🙏

This, too, is a good reason to adopt "A.i."

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....

Putting the final touches on my Law and Political Economy of A.I. syllabus for Spring 2025 - Please comment your articles that you think might be a good fit!

Of course, @akapczynski.bsky.social et al's groundbreaking article, "Building a Law-and-Political-Economy Framework" tops the list!

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."

I suspected this, as a non-expert on net neutrality.
Sad to have it confirmed by the brilliant @genevievelakier.bsky.social !

An exciting symposium happening in February at @emorylaw.bsky.social

There is a LOT happening today BUT this...this is significant too. #netneutrality

I enjoyed speaking with @luizajarovsky.bsky.social and a live audience about how business managers are deploying AI in the workplace and its effect on workers. Watch the video recording of our conversation below!

This entire thread by @jamellebouie.net is a perfect vindication of admin law scholars.

A mother's instinct

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?! 🤨

I think this comes dangerous close to nullifying the assumed priors necessary for the CDA Section 230 shield against liability for platforms...cc @daniellecitron.bsky.social

LOL!
