The Uneven Legal Geographies Of Nutrition Entitlement Programs In The United States. Realizing Or Hindering The Right To Food?, Joshua Lohnes, Mackenzie Steele

University of Miami International and Comparative Law Review

Unlike many countries across the world, the United States government does not formally recognize the Right to Food in law. However, it funds and administers nutrition entitlement programs that play a significant role in mitigating hunger and food insecurity across the country. Reflecting on the socio-political dynamics that shape the legal spaces of nutrition entitlement in different places, this Article explores the uneven geographies of the Right to Food in two other countries (South Africa and Ecuador) and then turns its focus to the United States. This Article offers an overview of the two most extensive nutrition entitlement programs (SNAP …

Prevent Phishy Business: Comparing California’S And The United Kingdom’S Age-Appropriate Design Code To Protect Youth From Cybersecurity Threats, Morgan Comite

University of Miami International and Comparative Law Review

Cybersecurity is the safeguarding of computer systems and networks against information disclosure, theft, or damage to users’ hardware, software, or electronic data, as well as disruption or misdirection of the services computers and networks provide. Knowing privacy would be breached due to the impact of COVID, in 2020, the United Kingdom got ahead of the game and passed rules/regulations requiring online services to protect children under the age of eighteen from scams, phishing, and security attacks. However, currently, the United States does not have a sufficient uniform privacy law governed to protect children under the age of eighteen from cybersecurity …

Protecting The Promise To The Families Of Tuskegee: Banning The Use Of Persuasive Ai In Obtaining Informed Consent For Commercial Drug Trials, Jennifer S. Bard

San Diego Law Review

This is the first article to call for a ban on the use of AI technology designed to influence human decision-making, “Persuasive AI,” for the purpose of recruiting or enrolling human participants in drug trials sponsored by commercial entities. It does so from a perspective of precaution, not fear. Advances in Artificial Technology that can assist human decision-making have tremendous potential for good. It makes the case for doing so based on both the substantial risk of harm to the decision-making process and the ineffectiveness of intermediate regulatory measures. This Article looks directly at Persuasive AI, a type of AI …

Why Florida Municipalities Should Not Resort To Rent Control: A Comparative Analysis And Alternative Solutions, Talya Pinto

University of Miami International and Comparative Law Review

This Note addresses the increasing rent problem in Florida, explains why rent control is not the best solution, and suggests alternative remedies. Rent control refers to laws and regulations that control how much a landlord can increase the price charged to tenants to live in an apartment. Florida enacted a statute in 1977 that currently bans rent control in the state but has an exception in the case of a housing emergency. This exception allows local governments to put a one-year rent control ordinance to a public vote. Orange County, Florida, recently declared a housing emergency and had residents vote …

Revamping Green Securitization Frameworks In The Eu, Samuel Pinson

University of Miami International and Comparative Law Review

Sustainable finance and green investments have grown from a trend to a dominant investment strategy throughout asset classes globally, and the EU is no exception. The EU published its Green New Deal and Sustainable Finance Strategy as roadmaps toward a more sustainable and equitable future. The twin reports contain comprehensive plans and initiatives to make sustainable finance more accessible through effective regulation. Stemming from those initiatives were various regulatory frameworks such as the EU Taxonomy, the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive, the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation, and the EU Green Bond Standard. The regulations above are aimed at everything from public …

Turning Fake Data Into Fake News: Ai Training Set As A Trojan Horse Of Misinformation, Bill Tomlinson, Donald J. Patterson, Andrew W. Torrance

San Diego Law Review

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) offers tremendous benefits to society. However, these benefits must be carefully weighed against the societal damage AI can also cause. Dangers posed by inaccurate training sets have been raised by many authors. These include racial discrimination, sexual bias, and other pernicious forms of misinformation. One remedy to such problems is to ensure that training sets used to teach AI models are correct and that the data upon which they rely are accurate. An assumption behind this correction is that data inaccuracies are inadvertent mistakes. However, a darker possibility exists: the deliberate seeding of training sets with …

The Criterion Of The Apparent Mismatch Between The Specific Performance Cost Incurred By The Debtor And The Interest Gained By The Creditor As An Impediment For The Specific Performance Of The Obligation In The French Law, Yousef Shandi

Journal of the Arab American University مجلة الجامعة العربية الامريكية للبحوث

This paper dealt with the specific performance of the contractual obligations under the Articles (1221 and 1222) of the French civil law as introduced by (Decree 2016 – 131, dated 10/2/2016 amending the contract law, general provisions and evidence). These Articles reinforce the general rule in contracts, i.e. the contractual obligation shall in principle be specifically performed. However, Article (1221) introduces an important exception to this rule. The judge may refuse specific performance requested by the creditor, if there is "an apparent mismatch between specific performance cost incurred by the debtor and the interest gained by the creditor thereof." This …

Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)

Background: As technology continues to advance, individuals' interactions with digital platforms have become integral to daily life. Amidst this technological evolution, a novel concern emerges—Digital Phobia, hereafter referred to as “Digiphobia.” This phenomenon, although not previously explored in scholarly literature, necessitates an in-depth investigation due to its potential impact on individuals' well-being. Our research employs a two-step methodology to investigate its existence, implications, and manifestations.

Wearable Ai, Bystander Notice, And The Question Of Privacy Frictions, Zahra Takhshid

Sturm College of Law: Faculty Scholarship

With the rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) technology and the widespread availability of large language models (“LLMs”), wearable AI devices and designs for new hardware have surged like never before. While wearable AI was traditionally marketed for health and fitness purposes, many of the emerging products are multifunctional. These features can jeopardize the privacy of bystanders in addition to the consumers. Product designers are thus facing a dilemma: ensuring third-party privacy or guaranteeing convenience and a user-friendly design. This Article argues for mandating “privacy frictions” to function as both bystander notice and consent for wearable AI devices with audiovisual …

America’S “Kia Boys”: The Problem, Responses, And Recommendations, Drew Thornley

Seattle University Law Review Online

The landscape of automobile theft in the United States has undergone a dramatic transformation, marked by a notable surge in the theft of Kia and Hyundai vehicles. Once regarded as a routine occurrence, car thefts have taken on a novel dimension, propelled by a phenomenon driven by digital culture and social media virality. The thefts of these specific car brands have evolved into what is now widely recognized as the "Kia Challenge," a term echoing across popular platforms like TikTok. In this challenge, young teenage individuals, often referred to as the "Kia Boys" or variations thereof, orchestrate daring car heists, …

Navigating The Conundrum Of Mandatory Reporting Under The Pocso Act: Implications For Medical Professionals, Nanditta Batra

Articles

To address the under reporting of sexual offences against children, the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, 2012, makes reporting of such offences mandatory. The duty to report such offences has been extended to healthcare professionals. The inclusion of healthcare professionals within mandatory reporting, however, strikes at the very foundation of the doctor-patient relationship based on trust and confidentiality and conflicts with the patient confidentiality safeguards of the Mental Healthcare Act, 2017. It also has unintended public health consequences, such as denial of medical termination of pregnancy due to fear of prosecution under POCSO. An urgent reassessment of …
