Shocking Technology: What Happens When Firms Make Large It Investments?, James Bessen, Cesare Righi

Faculty Scholarship

Many economists see information technology (IT) as central to understanding trends in productivity, labor’s share of output, and employment, especially as new “artificial intelligence” (AI) technologies emerge. Yet it has been difficult to measure its effects. This paper takes a first look at the economic impacts of large custom software investment by firms—“IT shocks.” Using a novel difference-in-differences methodology, we estimate the productivity of these shocks and the associated effects on revenues and employment and we explore the implications in terms of labor’s share and other variables, including heterogeneous relationships by industry, AI use, and time. In our preferred models, …

Privacy And Legal Automation: The Dmca As A Case Study, Jonathon Penney

Articles, Book Chapters, & Popular Press

Advances in artificial intelligence, machine learning, computing capacity, and big data analytics are creating exciting new possibilities for legal automation. At the same time, these changes pose serious risks for civil liberties and other societal interests. Yet, existing scholarship is narrow, leaving uncertainty on a range of issues, including a glaring lack of systematic empirical work as to how legal automation may impact people’s privacy and freedom. This article addresses this gap with an original empirical analysis of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), which today sits at the forefront of algorithmic law due to its automated enforcement of copyright …

Ok, Google, Will Artificial Intelligence Replace Human Lawyering?, Melissa Love Koenig, Julie A. Oseid, Amy Vorenberg

Marquette Law Review

Will Artificial Intelligence (AI) replace human lawyering? The answer is

no. Despite worries that AI is getting so sophisticated that it could take over

the profession, there is little cause for concern. Indeed, the surge of AI in the

legal field has crystalized the real essence of effective lawyering. The lawyer’s

craft goes beyond what AI can do because we listen with empathy to clients’

stories, strategize to find the story that might not be obvious, thoughtfully use

our imagination and judgment to decide which story will appeal to an audience,

and creatively tell those winning stories.
