Carrillo, Professor of Law at The George Washington University Law School *Wednesday, April 19 at 12pm* This talk will address a range of issues relating to digital incivility with en emphasis on cyber-violence. What are the most common negative behaviors online? How are these perceived and experienced by users? What is cyber-violence? Who does it target? What steps can be taken to prevent such behaviors? How should they be addressed once they've occurred? What challenges does the legal system face when dealing with cyber-violence related offenses?*Arturo Carrillo* will draw from the Cyber-Violence Project he co-directs at GW Law School to offer responses to these and related questions.

In this talk, *Eldar Haber* will address how we can ensure proper reintegration into society for individuals with a criminal history. Despite the fact that their crimes were expunged by the state, their wrongdoings remain widely available through commercial vendors (data brokers) and online sources like mugshot websites, legal research websites, social media platforms, and media archives. What are constitutional and pragmatic challenges to ensure digital rehabilitation? Is there a viable solution to solve this conundrum?

Emerging online threats such as ransomware are forcing hospitals and healthcare providers to revisit and re-evaluate the existing patient data protection standards, codified in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, that have dictated most healthcare security measures for more than two decades. *Dr. Josephine Wolff* will look at how hospitals are grappling with these new security threats, as well as the ways that the focus on HIPAA compliance has, at times, made it challenging for these institutions to adapt to an emerging threat landscape. RSVP <http://harvard.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ef13e6d75b74b1791f13115cd&...> /*ICYMI:* Catch up on our most recent events!/ Joi Ito and Iyad Rahwan on AI & Society <http://harvard.us10.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=ef13e6d75b74b1791f13115cd...> *Joi Ito and Iyad Rahwan on AI & Society* <http://harvard.us10.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=ef13e6d75b74b1791f13115cd...> AI technologies have the potential to vastly enhance the performance of many systems and institutions, from making transportation safer, to enhancing the accuracy of medical diagnosis, to improving the efficiency of food safety inspections. However, AI systems can also create moral hazards, by potentially diminishing human accountability, perpetuating biases that are inherent to the AI's training data, or optimizing for one performance measure at the expense of others. These challenges require new kinds of "user interfaces" between machines and society. *Joi Ito* & *Iyad Rahwan* explore these issues, and how they would interface with existing institutions.

This game-changing technological development has significant implications for regulation, which should be adjusted to a reality of consumers making their purchase decisions via algorithms. Despite this challenge, scholarship addressing commercial algorithms focused primarily on the use of algorithms by suppliers. *Michal Gal *& *Niva Elkin-Koren* explore the technological advances which are shaping algorithmic consumers, and analyze how these advances affect the competitive dynamic in the market.
