How can regulatory frameworks keep up in the age of AI?
New in @NetworkLawRev, Visiting Professor Florence G'sell discusses #GDPR, #AI, and the need for more adaptive, flexible, and responsive regulatory approaches in this era of rapid innovation. networklawreview.org/gsell-s…

How can we create value from data but give users more control? One possible answer...
Platforms hoard user data, causing market failures and welfare to decrease. Bertin Martens, @g2parker, @georgionomix, and @InfoEcon propose a novel solution: the in-situ data right for third parties to run their algorithms directly where the data is stored networklawreview.org/data-sh…

In this new piece, @groza_teodora (@sciencespo) argues that the best way to give innovation more prominence in antitrust is through #computationalantitrust. “Innovation is hard to measure, but it need not be hard to compute.” A MUST READ: networklawreview.org/innovat….

A new guest article by @AxelGautier1 in which he shows how big tech acquisitions often turn startup products into "ghosts 👻". Analyzing over 300 acquisitions, the study sheds light on product discontinuation, integration, rendered inactive, or killed networklawreview.org/big-tec…

In this month's guest series, @DAcemogluMIT and @baselinescene call for a digital ad tax to prompt business model change, e.g. subscriptions. More competition on the same business model is not the solution to fight extremism and misinformation. networklawreview.org/acemogl…

NEW EPISODE: My guest is Allison Stanger (Middlebury College/@Harvard/@sfiscience). Allison and I delve into the political science surrounding large tech companies.
We explore their effects on consumers and democracy, the interplay between capitalism and democracy, the dangers of fragmented regulation, what the effective governance of social media entails, how to scale and measure it, potential areas of cooperation with China, and the relevance of public choice theory, complexity science, and power laws in shaping our understanding of technology. I hope you enjoy our discussion.

My latest in Network LRev discusses the antitrust status of “digital” refusals to deal. One issue is the difference between “primary” and “secondary” dealing duties. Another is the extent to which code can turn multilateral conduct into unilateral. networklawreview.org/digital…

Here are the articles I found most interesting in August 2024 networklawreview.org/august-…, covering topics such as the scaling of AI, the Commission’s guidelines on exclusionary abuses, the myth of lax merger enforcement, competition in platform ecosystems, fully automated AI research, the universality of technology diffusion, Bitcoin’s power law, complexity economics, start-up acquisitions, and more.
Include @sarahookr @random_walker @makisbrussels @doyne_farmer @ArpithaVarma @DennisVenter1 @flogsell @erikbryn @avi_collis @aliekbercinar @BrianCAlbrecht @AuerDirk @geoffmanne @alicemhancock @SakanaAILabs @binarybits @thecryptojourno @ccatalini @WhiteCase @eleala @walraslaw @prashant_garg_ @drj_policy and others!

[warning: this is ironical]
In this piece, inspired by Huxley’s Brave New World, I argue that we must abandon AI research to preserve the current world order. Science is too dangerous. We must follow the leadership of World Controllers and their Great Friends (@FLI_org and others). Amen. networklawreview.org/world-c…

NEW EPISODE: My guest is Arvind Narayanan (@Random_Walker, director of @PrincetonCITP).
➝ Spotify: spoti.fi/4g2Cf5y
➝ Apple: apple.co/3AHx4rF
➝ YouTube: youtu.be/stJaSvQoIVQ
We dive into key arguments from his new book, “AI Snake Oil” (co-authored with @sayashk). We also discuss what Arvind calls AI scaling myths, the reality of #AGI, how governments can implement effective AI policies, the significance of transparency, the role of #antitrust (and its limitations), the societal impacts of scaling automation, and more. I hope you enjoy our conversation. #scalingtheory

NEW EPISODE: I welcome @Thom_Wolf, co-founder of @huggingface, a company that has become a (the) central part of the generative AI ecosystem.
In this episode, we explore whether open-source (“OS”) AI has a real chance to take over the space, the role of data and infrastructure in scaling dynamics, how big tech companies are positioning themselves in the ecosystem, and overall, the power laws that undermine the growth of the ecosystem. I hope you enjoy the conversation.
