#AcademicRunPlaylist - 3/22/24

The temperature definitely dipped today, but this llama I met on my run didn't seem to mind! I was able to go on a decent run today, complete with lots of talks for my #AcademicRunPlaylist!

First was an interesting talk by Russ Wermers on institutional trading around corporate news at Columbia Business School https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsSLG3KcZB8

Next was an excellent talk by Eric Beinhocker on the need for a new economic model at the Oxford Martin School. Beinhocker doesn't repudiate markets, but rather takes a historic view of the development of much of modern economic theory and considers the failing of these models and how we can reimagine new approaches to drive better outcomes. Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzl3X30f9dc

Next was a powerful talk by Jennifer Eberhardt on how bias works at the RSA. Eberhardt combines personal stories with research-backed insights to interrogate bias and what confronting and reducing societal biases demands https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMX0QzHbSOU

Next was a fascinating talk by Laura Fortunato on the anthropology of human marriage and mating at the Santa Fe Institute. Fortunato reviews the research on this topic, building towards informed comparisons of the development and prevalence of monogamous marriage, polygyny, and inheritance practices. Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6B2DRm00rMw

Next was a great talk by George Serafeim on reimagining capitalism through the lens of performance, purpose, and sustainability at the Saïd Business School, University of Oxford https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fsuvgv6ehk

Next was a fantastic talk by Anthony C. and Shayne Longpre on the data provenance initiative at the USC Information Sciences Institute. This is extremely important work, documenting dataset licensing and attribution in AI development, which is really where the action is in the space. Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=np9HeJN6miw

Last was an incredible talk by Ryan Calo on law and technology in theory and practice at the Princeton Center for Information Technology Policy. Calo details the various legal hurdles to the successful legal analysis and governance of emerging technology, and also cites the relevant work of my late cousin Joel Reidenberg! Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpxvnitJxjA
