Law & Economics Working Papers
In recent years, scientists and researchers have devoted considerable resources to developing medical artificial intelligence (AI) technologies.

But other types of novel AI technologies, such as those that relate to quality improvement and optimizing use of scarce facilities, have been largely absent from the discussion thus far.

The second set of rules are those of Intellectual Property law, which creates property in a special kind of volunteer. My argument is simply that the law of Restitution leads almost directly to the law of Intellectual Property, though the two areas are premised on diametrically …
