Data-Informed Duties In Ai Development, Frank A. Pasquale
Data-Informed Duties In Ai Development, Frank A. Pasquale
Faculty Scholarship
Law should help direct—and not merely constrain—the development of artificial intelligence (AI). One path to influence is the development of standards of care both supplemented and informed by rigorous regulatory guidance. Such standards are particularly important given the potential for inaccurate and inappropriate data to contaminate machine learning. Firms relying on faulty data can be required to compensate those harmed by that data use—and should be subject to punitive damages when such use is repeated or willful. Regulatory standards for data collection, analysis, use, and stewardship can inform and complement generalist judges. Such regulation will not only provide guidance to …
Law's Halo And The Moral Machine, Bert I. Huang
Law's Halo And The Moral Machine, Bert I. Huang
Faculty Scholarship
How will we assess the morality of decisions made by artificial intelligence – and will our judgments be swayed by what the law says? Focusing on a moral dilemma in which a driverless car chooses to sacrifice its passenger to save more people, this study offers evidence that our moral intuitions can be influenced by the presence of the law.
Private Law Statutory Interpretation, Shyamkrishna Balganesh
Private Law Statutory Interpretation, Shyamkrishna Balganesh
Faculty Scholarship
While scholars routinely question the normative significance of the distinction between public law and private law, few – if any – question its conceptual basis. Put in simple terms, private law refers to bodies of legal doctrine that govern the horizontal interaction between actors, be they individuals, corporate entities, or on occasion the state acting in its private capacity. Public law on the other hand refers to doctrinal areas that deal with vertical interaction between the state and non-state actors, wherein the state exerts a direct and overbearing influence on the shape and course of the law. The latter is …

The Inner Morality Of Private Law, Benjamin C. Zipursky
The Inner Morality Of Private Law, Benjamin C. Zipursky
Faculty Scholarship
Lon Fuller's classic The Morality of Law is an exploration of the basic principles of a legal system: the law should be publicly promulgated, prospective, clear, and general. So deep are these principles, he argued, that too great a deviation from them would not simply create a bad legal system and bad law, but would render the products of such a system undeserving of the name "law" at all. In this essay, I argue that Fuller's basic principles are not in fact desiderata for all of law, observing that much of private law plainly flouts them; it is unwritten, retroactive, …
Do Defendants Pay What Juries Award - Post-Verdict Haircuts In Texas Medical Malpractice Cases, 1988-2003, David A. Hyman, Bernard S. Black, Kathryn Zeiler, Charles Silver, William M. Sage
Do Defendants Pay What Juries Award - Post-Verdict Haircuts In Texas Medical Malpractice Cases, 1988-2003, David A. Hyman, Bernard S. Black, Kathryn Zeiler, Charles Silver, William M. Sage
Faculty Scholarship
Legal scholars, legislators, policy advocates, and the news media frequently use jury verdicts to draw conclusions about the performance of the tort system. However actual payouts can differ greatly from verdicts. We report evidence on post-verdict payouts from the most comprehensive longitudinal study of matched jury verdicts and payouts. Using data on all insured medical malpractice claims in Texas from 1988-2003 in which the plaintiff received at least $25,000 (in 1988 dollars) following a jury trial, we find that most jury awards received "haircuts." Seventy-five percent of plaintiffs received a payout less than the adjusted verdict (jury verdict plus pre-judgment …

Part III examines the right of privacy as it has evolved in the Minnesota common law. Part IV evaluates the Minnesota Supreme Court's application of federal privacy standards and then examines the court's decisions that outline the right of privacy under the Minnesota Constitution. Part V concludes by raising questions concerning the potential application of the court's concept of privacy under the Minnesota Constitution as applied to two areas: same-sex marriages and …
