Ben WaberWell I'm finally home after a long day of traveling. I'm definitely jet lagged, but at least I was able to listen to lots of talks on the way home for my boot-edition #AcademicRunPlaylist! (1/6)
First was an excellent discussion with @Margotkaminski on regulating #AI on the @lawfare podcast. This is not only a great summary of the current state of efforts to regulate AI, but also an incisive look into the issues with these attempts. Highly recommend https://podcasts.google.com/u/1/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5hY2FzdC5jb20vcHVibGljL3Nob3dzLzYwNTE4YTUyZjY5YWE4MTVkMmRiYTQxYw/episode/NjQ0MDY3NGU0NTYxYjEwMDExZTM4NGU1?sa=X&ved=0CAUQkfYCahcKEwjokbHUl8H-AhUAAAAAHQAAAAAQLA (2/6) #law
The Lawfare Podcast - Margot Kaminski on Regulating AI Risks
In the last few months we've seen an explosion of new AI products, especially those built around large language models. And in response, we've also heard calls for far more aggressive government regulation. But what does it mean to regulate AI? Margot Kaminski is an Associate Professor of Law at University of Colorado Law School. She's just published a paper for Laware's ongoing Digital Social Contract research paper series, in which she argues that the emerging law of artificial intelligence is converging around risk regulation. Alan Rozenshtein, Associate Professor of Law at the University of Minnesota and Senior Editor at Lawfare, spoke with Margot about what risk regulation means in the AI context and why she thinks that it has some serious drawbacks.

Next was a great conversation with Moshe Hoffman on using #GameTheory to explore human behavior on the Stanford #Psychology Podcast. There's a lot of ground covered here, from how incentives influence empathy to the usefulness and limitations of applying game theory to human behavior https://podcasts.google.com/u/1/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5idXp6c3Byb3V0LmNvbS8xODAxNDM2LnJzcw/episode/QnV6enNwcm91dC0xMjY5NzM3Nw?sa=X&ved=0CAUQkfYCahgKEwiI3OfZl8H-AhUAAAAAHQAAAAAQ_wE (3/6)
Stanford Psychology Podcast - 93 - Moshe Hoffman: Altruism, irrationality, and the psychology of aesthetics
Rachel chats with Moshe Hoffman, a Lecturer and Independent Scholar at Harvard’s Department of Economics. Moshe uses game theory to explore the evolutionary bases of human behavior, from altruistic donations to our taste in music. His recent book, co-authored with Dr. Erez Yoeli, is “Hidden Games: The Surprising power of Game Theory to Explain Irrational Human Behavior.” In this episode, Rachel and Moshe discuss how incentives shape empathy, how saying "I love you" enables social coordination, and why we appreciate the music of rapper MF Doom.

Next was an enjoyable conversation between Nick "LS" De Cesare and Max Waldo on how to think about quantitative changes to games and the difficulty of changing behavior. This is an #esports focused discussion, but the perspective here, in an industry where quantitative effects are known with absolute certainty, is extremely instructive for management and people analytics https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEvzWFxEtK8 (4/6)

Next was the fantastic first day of the #NBER's organizational #economics working group. Highly recommend all the talks here, covering issues such as #gender inequality, homophily, and employee checklists https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7nSfTT2VDc (5/6) #management #HR

Last was the amazing first day of the #StiglerCenter's #antitrust and competition conference. The panels and talks here are extremely insightful, I highly recommend them all https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qXGipgazA7c (6/6) #economics
