Keeping Ai Legal, Amitai Etzioni, Oren Etzioni Jan 2016

Keeping Ai Legal, Amitai Etzioni, Oren Etzioni

Vanderbilt Journal of Entertainment & Technology Law

AI programs make numerous decisions on their own, lack transparency, and may change frequently. Hence, unassisted human agents, such as auditors, accountants, inspectors, and police, cannot ensure that AI-guided instruments will abide by the law. This Article suggests that human agents need the assistance of AI oversight programs that analyze and oversee operational AI programs. This Article asks whether operational AI programs should be programmed to enable human users to override them; without that, such a move would undermine the legal order. This Article also points out that AI operational programs provide high surveillance capacities and, therefore, are essential for …

Young Adulthood As A Transitional Legal Category: Science, Social Change, And Justice Policy, Elizabeth S. Scott, Richard J. Bonnie, Laurence Steinberg

Faculty Scholarship

In the past decade, much attention has focused on developmental brain research and its implications for the regulation of crime. Public and policy interest has been directed primarily toward juveniles. In light of recent research, courts and legislatures increasingly have rejected the punitive response of the 1990s and embraced a developmental approach to young offenders. Of particular importance in propelling this trend has been the framework offered by the U.S. Supreme Court in a series of Eighth Amendment opinions that have rejected harsh adult sentences for juveniles. These decisions, supported by adolescent brain research, rested on two empirically based principles: …

Individual Licensing Models And Consumer Protection, Lucie Guibault Jan 2016

Individual Licensing Models And Consumer Protection, Lucie Guibault

Articles, Book Chapters, & Popular Press

Copyright law is not primarily directed at consumers. Their interests are therefore only marginally accounted for, as the copyright rules exempt specific uses of works from the right holder’s control. This chapter examines the impact of digital technology on the position of consumers of licensed copyrighted content. While ownership of the physical embodiment of a work does not entail the ownership of the rights in the work, how does copyright law deal with ‘disembodied’ works? Whereas digital content is now commonly distributed on the basis of individual licensing schemes, what does it mean for consumers? Do they have a claim …

Yes, Your Personal Data Is At Risk: Get Over It, Marian K. Riedy Jan 2016

Yes, Your Personal Data Is At Risk: Get Over It, Marian K. Riedy

SMU Science and Technology Law Review

Over the past decade, the number of security breaches that have compromised business records containing the personal information of millions of American consumers has soared. The legal world has largely responded in a traditional fashion: by rushing to the courthouse seeking damages for various alleged injuries from the same businesses that had their computers and networks breached by criminal hackers. Corporate misconduct is a classic justification for expending societal resources to hold a company accountable and deter other companies from engaging in similar, harmful conduct. However, company data on consumers and clients may be compromised in situations involving no corporate …
