On Privacy and Technology

Professor Daniel Solove will talk about his new book ON PRIVACY AND TECHNOLOGY. He will address the question: Can privacy law keep up with new digital technologies such as AI? Solove will argue that it is possible to protect privacy in the age of AI, but it requires dispelling common myths of technology that impede regulation, such as the myth that regulation stifles innovation, the myth of technology neutrality, the myth of technology exceptionalism, and the myth of the privacy paradox.

What's up with AI?

The current boom in AI has been accompanied with tremendous hype, both negative and positive. My goal is to go beneath this surface and provide a better understanding of what AI systems are actually doing, and what concerns I have about where they are going. I am neither an enthusiast nor a doomer. The very real problems created by AI today and in the foreseeable future need to be approached by looking at the ways we (in the broad sense) choose to apply it and the way in which we fit it into our world.
