Please read @matthewbodie.bsky.social 's excellent review discussing my recent article published by the Yale Law Journal.
Matt Bodie@matthewtbodie.bsky.social · last yr.Wanted to share my latest jot on two great articles from @veenadubal.bsky.social and @iajunwa.bsky.social on employee data and how we should regulate its use.
Hot off the press!: My new co-authored article in @NEJM with Glenn Cohen (Harvard Law) and Ravi Parikh (Emory Med) in which we discuss the risk of A.I. being used to surveil & "quantify" health care workers. nejm.org/doi/full/10.... #TheQuantifiedWorker @harvard.edu @emorylaw.bsky.social

Truly a pleasure presenting my book, The Quantified Worker, @uvalaw.bsky.social yesterday! An outstandingly engaged audience! Thank you to @daniellecitron.bsky.social for inviting me. Danielle, I cherish your mentorship and friendship. ❤️ And thanks also to Elizabeth Rowe for being so welcoming.
Danielle Citron@daniellecitron.bsky.social · 2y agoSo so lucky to have @iajunwa.bsky.social at @uvalaw.bsky.social to talk about her brilliant book The Quantified Worker for the LawTech series. Elizabeth Rowe and I loved having her, ever grateful! @uvalaw.bsky.social
"AI technology appears to outperform humans. But a closer look reveals that these games are rigged. The competitions do not actually ask machines to perform human tasks; it’s more accurate to say that they ask humans to behave in machine-like ways as they perform lifeless simulacra of human tasks."

Twas the afternoon before the Thrower Symposium and all through the law school many creatures were scurrying to finalize preparations... As we settled in for a short winter nap (it'll be 70F in Atlanta today), we excitedly thought of "The Regulation of Digital Platforms and Addictive Technologies"
Happy MLK Day! Spent the day in service and community with others and it felt great. "Let us not be weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all..."
Thursday was a recognized day of mourning @Emorylaw for President Carter who had a longstanding relationship with the law school including receiving an honorary degree. May he rest in perfect peace. 🙏
I recently saw someone write "A.i" and I want to deploy all scholars to adopt this stylization of the abbreviation for "artificial intelligence." I find it particularly apt (and accurately descriptive) at not making too much of the "intelligence" part....
Putting the final touches on my Law and Political Economy of A.I. syllabus for Spring 2025 - Please comment your articles that you think might be a good fit! Of course, @akapczynski.bsky.social et al's groundbreaking article, "Building a Law-and-Political-Economy Framework" tops the list!
Highly incisive: "More importantly, privacy essentialism often leads to law and policy that ignores important privacy problems and neglects serious privacy harms because they do not readily fit within the narrow boundaries of a particular conception of privacy."

I suspected this, as a non-expert on net neutrality. Sad to have it confirmed by the brilliant @genevievelakier.bsky.social !
Genevieve Lakier@genevievelakier.bsky.social · 2y agoI just read the incredibly short 6th Cir opinion striking down the FCC net neutrality rule. Discussion of net neutrality (and telecommunications law) can get so technical it is hard for non-experts to evaluate but this opinion struck me as bananas.
An exciting symposium happening in February at @emorylaw.bsky.social
Emory Law Journal@emorylawjournal.bsky.social · 2y agoELJ invites you to register for the 2025 Randolph W. Thrower Symposium on Thursday, February 6, 2025! This year's Symposium will focus on the regulation of social media platforms and other addictive technologies. Register here: emorylaw.wufoo.com/forms/m1hpgd...
There is a LOT happening today BUT this...this is significant too. #netneutrality
The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com · 2y agoThe U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit struck down the FCC’s “net neutrality” rules governing internet service providers, in an early policy win for Republicans seeking to reverse Biden-era industry regulation.
I enjoyed speaking with @luizajarovsky.bsky.social and a live audience about how business managers are deploying AI in the workplace and its effect on workers. Watch the video recording of our conversation below!

This entire thread by @jamellebouie.net is a perfect vindication of admin law scholars.
jamelle@jamellebouie.net · 2y agoa useful thing to ask is how specifically does a rule or regulation or order go from issuance to implementation. for instance, trump has said that he will issue an executive order denying birth certificates and SSNs to the children of undocumented immigrants. okay. what happens next?
This ruling is wild: "Congress did not pass the Exchange Act for the purpose of maximizing shareholder wealth. It passed the Act to protect investors from fraud, manipulation, speculation, and anticompetitive exchange behavior. Firm performance has little to do with those objectives." Really?! 🤨
Ann M. Lipton@annmlipton.bsky.social · 2y agoOkay, blog post up about the Fifth Circuit's en banc ruling rejecting NASDAQ's comply-or-explain diversity rule: www.businesslawprofessors.com/2024/12/fift...
I think this comes dangerous close to nullifying the assumed priors necessary for the CDA Section 230 shield against liability for platforms...cc @daniellecitron.bsky.social
Joseph Cox@josephcox.bsky.social · 2y agoNew: YouTube is rolling out AI-generated replies for creators to more easily respond to their comments. But sometimes they're completely nonsensical, wrong, or weirdly intimate. Lasy Game Reviews told us the automated comments come across as "tone deaf" www.404media.co/youtube-enha...
The definition of "employee" hinges on level of employer control. The contestants have their days planned for them, actions tightly controlled. They are not allowed communications with the outside world while in the pods. Also, they all have to drink from the same gold/brass wine cups...#loveisblind
