This may seem arcane but it's a big deal: European court holds that standards created by private standard-setting bodies, eg. to implement EU AI Act, must be available for free (not sold as is status quo). Rule of law, transparency and all that good stuff.

Full show available at this link. A great discussion ranging from the future of AI to misinformation, plagiarism, and the potential for ChatGPT to provide legal advice! Not to mention how children learn and the history of technologies and how law and regulation adapts…

Very touched by what @wihender has to say about what we accomplished in Utah on behalf of change and #A2J —and what we still have to do. Dropping the Rock: three examples (112) | Legal Evolution

It’s basic economics that lawyers should take to heart—when you make your service more affordable, more people can buy it and the total value to be shared goes up. More markets, more users, more work. Demand curves slope down!

And the paperback, with a foreword addressing AI, is out (sort of—locked into a warehouse somewhere waiting for the world to reopen—pre-order on Amazon available)

Nice to hear! Thanks! Paperback version available as well with foreword on the challenge of regulating AI given all that stuff about institutions, cultural evolution, cooperation and history...

@DavidSkarbek By @ghadfield - Reading it now (on a recommendation). nominally about law but actually about about institutions, cooperation, cultural evolution etc. It’s really interesting & lots of lovely historical examples.

1) Do I misread program #asa19 ? Maybe 6 papers on AI, mostly ”algorithms discriminate” & “robot take jobs,” a few more on ML, mostly methodology. Nothing on normativity, alignment, society +AGI, law + AI, complex orgs as model for AI. So much rich untilled soil.

If you want *the* best take on AI policy, and the urgency of action, and why we are failing spectacularly to take seriously the massive challenge to our socio-economic systems, read the whole thing.

It's not just the content of law that is complex; the process is tortuous too. #legalinnovation

"Ambitious as they are, no legal entrepreneur has similarly revamped the economics of legal services." Why we need to rethink the rules like SpaceX #legalinnovation
