Algorithms And Human Freedom, Richard Warner, Robert Sloan

Predictive analytics such as data mining, machine learning, and artificial intelligence drive algorithmic decision making. Its "all-encompassing scope already reaches the very heart of a functioning society". Unfortunately, the legal system and its various tools developed around human decisionmakers cannot adequately administer accountability mechanisms for computer decision making. Antiquated approaches require modernization to bridge the gap between governing human decision making and new technologies. We divide the bridge-building task into three questions. First, what features of the use of predictive analytics significantly contribute to incorrect, unjustified, or unfair outcomes? Second, how should one regulate those features to make outcomes more …
The Internet Adopts Two-Way Radio, Henry Perritt
The Internet Adopts Two-Way Radio, Henry Perritt
All Faculty Scholarship
The Internet, having displaced conventional correspondence with email, having displaced traditional libraries with online ones, having revolutionized shopping, having uprooted television and movies, now is absorbing police, fire, ambulance, and public utility two-radio systems.Digital radio technologies combine with Internet switching of transmitters, receivers, and networks, so that a police officer can talk to an ambulance driver or a train dispatcher across the state or across the country. Specialized cellphones are becoming indistinguishable from walkie-talkies. Cellular telephone channels replace two-way-radio air links.Integration of “private mobile radio” into the Internet is the result of specific advances in radio and networking technology that …
Is Dna Really A Natural Product? It's Time To Separate Fact From (Legal) Fiction: An Examination Of Dna Patentability As A Biological Algorithm In The Post-Myriad Era, Nicholas Ulen
Chicago-Kent Law Review
In 2013, the United States Supreme Court delivered its landmark decision in Ass’n for Molecular Pathology v. Myriad Genetics, Inc., holding isolated DNA unpatentable, thereby invalidating the claims of thousands of DNA patents in the process. The opinion, delivered by Justice Thomas, reasoned that the act of separating DNA from the body did not sufficiently transform the molecule beyond what naturally exists. Yet the Court found that line to be crossed when it held certain artificially synthesized complementary DNA molecules coding for the exact same gene patentable. Unlike the Federal Circuit, the Court focused its analysis not on the …
