Killing Antitrust Softly (Through Procedure) – Law and Political Economy
by J.C. DE MARTIN June 12, 2019

June 12, 2019

The Supreme Court has waged a multi-decade war on private rights of action. It has subverted the rights of consumers, workers, small businesses, and others to hold corporations accountable for wrongdoing through lawsuits. The Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) has been a preferred tool of the Court. Since the 1980s, it has reinvented this modest statute, converting the FAA into a quasi-constitutional sledgehammer for corporations to wield against private lawsuits, especially class actions. And the evisceration of private enforcement of law goes beyond arbitration. The Court has rewritten class certification, pleading, and summary judgment standards to help businesses ward off private lawsuits and accountability. https://lpeblog.org/2019/06/11/killing-antitrust-softly-through-procedure/ (Sent from my wireless device; please excuse brevity and typos (if any))

IEEE Spectrum - Untold History of AI
by Stefano Zacchiroli June 11, 2019

June 11, 2019

https://spectrum.ieee.org/tag/AI+history The history of AI is often told as the story of machines getting smarter over time. What’s lost is the human element in the narrative, how intelligent machines are designed, trained, and powered by human minds and bodies. In this six-part series, we explore that human history of AI—how innovators, thinkers, workers, and sometimes hucksters have created algorithms that can replicate human thought and behavior (or at least appear to). While it can be exciting to be swept up by the idea of superintelligent computers that have no need for human input, the true history of smart machines shows that our AI is only as good as we are. Niente di particolarmente profondo o nuovo, ma molti aneddoti carini scritti in modo spigliato e quindi piacevoli da leggere. -- Stefano Zacchiroli . zack(a)upsilon.cc . upsilon.cc/zack . . o . . . o . o Computer Science Professor .
