2021 Arthur N. Rupe Great Debate: Taming Titans: How Should We Regulate Big Tech?
Participants:
Sonia Katyal, The University of California, Berkeley, School of Law
Kate Klonick, St. John’s University, School of Law
Randal C. Picker, The University of Chicago, The Law School
Moderator: Michael J. Burstein, Yeshiva University, Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law
Experts on law and technology will debate how Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google, and Microsoft should be regulated. Are they 21st-century trusts? Guardians of free speech? Threats to our privacy? Do they impede or fuel innovation? Join us for a lively discussion of the role big tech companies play in our lives and the role they should play in the coming decade.
Sonia Katyal, Distinguished Haas Chair at UC Berkeley School of Law and Co-Director of the Berkeley Center for Law & Technology, has published widely on the intersection of technology, intellectual property, and civil rights (including antidiscrimination, privacy, and freedom of speech) as well as on law, gender, and sexuality.
Kate Klonick, Assistant Professor of Law at St. John’s University School of Law and Affiliate Fellow at the Information Society Project at Yale Law School, has published on Facebook’s new Oversight Board, the Internet’s effect on freedom of expression and private platform governance, and issues related to online shaming, artificial intelligence, content moderation, algorithms, privacy, and intellectual property.
Randal C. Picker, James Parker Hall Distinguished Service Professor of Law at the University of Chicago Law School, is co-author of Game Theory and the Law and Security Interests in Personal Property: Cases, Problems and Materials.
The debate will be moderated by Michael J. Burstein, Vice Dean and Professor of Law at Cardozo School of Law.
Co-presented with the UCSB College of Letters and Science and made possible by an endowment from the Arthur N. Rupe Foundation
