Ben WaberThe weather certainly cooperated with my plans to go on a longer run today, and that also meant I had lots of time to listen to talks for my #AcademicRunPlaylist! (1/10)
First was a great talk by Silvia Saccardo on the impact and limits of nudges at #DataColada. Through a large-scale RCT Saccardo shows that nudge effect size estimates are highly sensitive to how one defines success https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsMNReKWdsA (2/10) #psychology
Silvia Saccardo (Carnegie Mellon University) - Data Colada Seminar Series (10 December 2021)
Next was a nice panel on #AI, #art, and creativity at #UNSW with Stephen Krol, Chloe McFadden, Rodolfo Ocampo, and Ben Swift. There's some good exploration of where these areas could go and the challenges and opportunities presented by generative AI systems https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YO3f-byKrUk (3/10) #GenerativeAI
Open discussion - Creative AI Sydney Symposium 2022
Next was an engaging panel with short talks on the law and regulation of investment #crowdfunding with Mark Loewenstein, Abe Cable (lessons from Robinhood), Douglas Cumming (crowdfunding governance and results), and Mirit Eyal-Cohen (tax consequences for crowdfunding) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXuRfiE1XMg (4/10)
Anjana SusarlaNext was a fabulous event on responsible and open generative AI models at the Princeton CITP. I highly recommend the whole event, with particular standouts being @ruchowdh's (generative red team challenge) and @zicokolter's (common generative AI data training data as an unpatchable security risk and LLMs as virtual machines) respective talks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75OBTMu5UEc (5/10) #AI #GenerativeAI
Workshop on Responsible and Open Foundation Models
Next was a fantastic conversation on CEO turnover data with Richard Gentry, Tim Quigley, and Steven Boivie. Not only did these folks put together a heroic open dataset on CEO succession, but they also published an article on it in a top #management journal. This gives me hope that management, like computer science, medicine, and other fields, can start rewarding scholars who put together massive datasets that others can build on. Highly recommend https://podcasts.google.com/u/1/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9waW5lY2FzdC5jb20vZmVlZC9idXNpbmVzcy1zY2hvbGFyc2hpcC1wb2RjYXN0/episode/aHR0cHM6Ly9waW5lY2FzdC5jb20vZ3VpZC9hNzIxOTQ1NS1hYWQwLTRhOWEtODRmNy1jMmZiMTE1MDZhYzg?sa=X&ved=0CAUQkfYCahcKEwiow8Ks2L-BAxUAAAAAHQAAAAAQLA (6/10)
Business Scholarship Podcast - Ep.109 – Richard Gentry, Timothy Quigley & Steven Boivie on CEO Turnover
Richard Gentry, associate professor at the University of Mississippi; Timothy Quigley, associate professor at the University of Georgia; and Steven Boivie, professor at Texas A&M University, join the Business Scholarship Podcast to discuss their article A Database of CEO Turnover and Dismissal in S&P 1500 Firms, 2000–2018, which was co-authored with Joseph Harrison. The authors identify accuracy and efficiency gaps in existing CEO-succession datasets and research. To address these gaps, they produce an open-source, documented dataset of CEO turnover and dismissals at S&P 1500 firms and demonstrate their dataset's potential use in future CEO-succession studies. This episode is hosted by Andrew Jennings, a teaching fellow and lecturer in law at Stanford Law School.
Next was an excellent talk by @gabrielazf (👋) on automated decision-making case law under #GDPR at the School of Advanced Study, University of London. This is an amazing tour of the case law as well as the historical context of #privacy and ADM law. The discussion from Jedrzej Niklas is similarly insightful. Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUN0YsL-akA (7/10)
Computer says No! Fair and Accountable Decisions in an Automated World
Next was a timely panel on the #UAW strike at the Burnes Center for Social Change with Don Looney, Glenn Kage, and Seth Harris. Hearing firsthand from UAW members about their work, why they're striking, and their perspective on the strike is essential for this issue and the broader labor rights movement https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLG9sl-jbJg (8/10) #unions
Power at Work Blogcast #17: An Interview With UAW Local 2250 Members Don Looney and Glenn Kage
Next was an excellent talk by Beatriz Kira on international governance of digital competition at the UCL Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose. Kira examines why digital competition is being examined by competition bodies globally and what it might mean for the future of related industries and economies https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xlAMrOkLiw (9/10) #economics
Competition without borders? The international governance of the digital markets' competition
Last was an intriguing talk by Albert Kao on collective decision making at the Vermont Complex Systems Center. Kao examines some theoretical models that take into account #networks and temporal dynamics rather than static, homogenous ones https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BrrdXKiwWsQ (10/10)
