Biogas Subsidies And The Increase In Consolidation On Industrial Hog Operations, Elizabeth Nisbet

Georgia State University Law Review

Industrial agriculture corporations operate with one goal: maximizing profits. In the name of this single objective, pig facilities fill warehouses with thousands of animals, where the costs of housing and feeding the animals can be kept as low as possible. An oft- unconsidered consequence of packing animals into warehouses is the sheer amount of waste created. Each pig creates about thirty times as much waste as a human, but industrial agriculture facilities do not have sewer systems for managing the thousands of gallons of waste produced every day. Instead, large facilities typically store their raw sewage in open air vats …

Tipped Out: Would Ending Involvement In The Flsa Tip Credit System Improve Georgia’S Restaurant Wages?, Zach Ayer

Georgia State University Law Review

The Tip Credit provision of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) allows a restaurant employer to pay a tipped employee just $2.13 per hour if the employee earns enough in tips to raise their hourly rate to the minimum wage. Enacted in 1966, the provision intends for restaurants, an industry group known for high costs and low profit margins, to employ tipped serving staff at lower cost while ensuring the tipped employees can still earn a competitive wage. The tipping system is not without issues, however. Many of the employers’ duties under the FLSA are difficult to account for, leading …

A Broken Record: A Statutory Solution To Fixing Music Copyright Infringement’S Biggest Problem, Jacob B. Hopkins

Georgia State University Law Review

In the intellectual property space, nothing quite grabs the eye of the public like music copyright infringement. The high reputational and monetary risks associated when an artist claims infringement— especially against that of a major artist—can have huge consequences, even when no infringement occurred. The two prevailing tests for copyright infringement recognize that the hearing court can determine there is not an appropriate level of substantial similarity between two copyrightable works, however this determination relies on specialized musical knowledge, something that the typical trial judge does not possess.

This Note examines the inefficiencies in our current scheme of music copyright …

Government-Backed Insurance For Artificial Intelligence Technologies, Renee Henson

Georgia State University Law Review

Artificial intelligence (AI) is an unpredictable technology that has the capacity to both help and harm people. Although insurance plays a key role in compensating for harms in other contexts, AI-produced damages evade traditional principles of risk pricing which limits viable commercial insurance coverage. AI requires modified insurance systems that can compensate diverse and unpredictable losses. Just like AI, at one time nuclear energy was viewed as a new and profitable, yet wholly unpredictable, technology that had the capacity to cause devastating harm. AI poses similar threats to society in certain domains, including, for example, health care (e.g., risk management …

Is Discrimination Unfair?, Jeff Sovern

Georgia State University Law Review

Though multiple federal laws explicitly bar discrimination in consumer transactions, many consumer transactions fall in the gaps between those laws. But recently, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and Federal Trade Commission (FTC) have attempted to plug those gaps on the theory that discrimination is unfair within the meaning of statutes they enforce prohibiting unfair practices (UDAAP statutes). Angered by this view, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, joined by various banking trade groups, sued the CFPB in a federal court in Texas and persuaded a conservative judge to invalidate the Bureau’s interpretation. An appeal from the decision is pending.

But, …

A Legislative Foundation For Foundation Models, Steven Arango

Georgia State University Law Review

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is not some futuristic technology—it exists in everyday products like your Uber app or the Siri voice on your nightstand. Its development is meteoric; foundation models are the latest AI advancement. These models are a type of AI that not only produces a range of products but is also integrated into other AI models. This AI Swiss army knife is proving to be an incredible asset for economic development and national security. But, like other world- altering technology, there is a pernicious side of foundation models. Their flexibility offers adversaries, such as state and non-state actors, the …
