#AcademicRunPlaylist - 3/2/24

We had a rainy day in Boston, but at least these guys kept me entertained while I listened to talks for my #AcademicRunPlaylist!

First was a great slate of talks on competition and privacy in digital markets at the New York University School of Law with Katharine Kemp (concealed data practices and competition law), Wendy Ng (privacy, data, and competition regulation in China), and Garrett Johnson (online markets after the GDPR) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7txSbklfD8

Next was an excellent talk by Sara Signorelli on technological change and the decline in internal labor markets at the Paris School of Economics https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wR7ReliKiWw

Next was an informative panel on the function of functionality in trademark law at the UCL Faculty of Laws with Annette Kur (UK jurisprudence in this area), Allan James (practical difficulties of applying the law), Mark McKenna (US trademark law, with a particularly entertaining case on the color of Dippin Dots), and Saeema Ahmed-Kristensen (designer perspective on trademark law) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Caf2KdtE8ZY

Next was an intriguing conversation with Jonathan Haidt on the psychology of tribalism and societal polarization at the RSA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zjKU6r0-Vc

Next was an interesting talk by Alex Nicholls and Karim Harji on corporate impact measurement at the Saïd Business School, University of Oxford https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZG7wbAh6w_Q

Next was an engaging panel on Brazil's draft AI bill with Ricardo Cueva and Laura Schertel Mendes at the Yale Information Society Project https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wYYyHqHso8

Next was an insightful panel on (American) football analytics in practice at the Sloan Sports Analytics Conference with Steve Palazzolo, Eugene Shen, Sean Clement, and Ted Knutson. The complexity of football makes it a nice analog for more traditional people analytics, but the faster feedback cycle combined with objective outcomes means they're still much further ahead than other industries https://www.youtube.com/live/i5zfF8Br1Vg?si=kd8hVST3tAe8lWp7&t=14459

Last was a broad panel on data and identity at Yale ISP with Lauren Chambers (lessons learned from the US Census' implementation of differential privacy), and Alicia Boyd, PhD (gender recognition, privacy, and accelerometers) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RFbU1R3qLY
