Podcasts about Orly Lobel

Political scientists who study democratic backsliding—the slow erosion of a country's institutions—have raised alarms about the state of democracy in the United States under the second Trump administration. At the same time, the administration has embraced technology—particularly AI—as a tool for implementing many of its policies, from immigration enforcement to slashing government functions and staffing. And the ties between Washington, D.C. and Silicon Valley appear tighter than ever, with Elon Musk wielding unprecedented control over the executive branch through his quasi-governmental DOGE initiative. How should we understand the connection between technology and democratic backsliding? Are they interlinked at this moment in the United States? How has technology played a role in supporting or undermining democracy during other historical moments?On May 2, Lawfare Senior Editor Quinta Jurecic moderated a panel discussion on these questions at Fordham Law School's Transatlantic AI and Law institute, featuring panelists Joseph Cox, a journalist and co-founder of 404 Media; Orly Lobel, the Warren Distinguished Professor of Law and founding director of the Center for Employment and Labor Policy (CELP) at the University of San Diego; Aziz Huq, the Frank and Bernice J. Professor at the University of Chicago Law School; and James Grimmelmann, the Tessler Family Professor of Digital and Information Law at Cornell Tech and Cornell Law School.

This Day in Legal History: Oliver Ellsworth BornOn this day in legal history, April 29 marks the birth of Oliver Ellsworth in 1745, in Windsor, Connecticut. A pivotal figure in early American jurisprudence, Ellsworth's contributions to the United States legal system are profound and lasting. As the third Chief Justice of the United States, a position he assumed in 1796, Ellsworth helped shape the role and authority of the Supreme Court. However, his most significant legal legacy stems from his earlier work as a drafter of the Judiciary Act of 1789.The Judiciary Act of 1789 was a cornerstone in the establishment of the federal court system, laying down the framework for its structure and function. The Act not only created the system of federal district and circuit courts but also detailed their jurisdictions and interrelations with state courts, thereby ensuring a cohesive and unified judiciary. Ellsworth's influence is also noted in his role in determining that the Supreme Court justices would have the final say on the constitutionality of state laws, a principle central to federalism in the United States.Before his tenure on the Supreme Court, Ellsworth served as a U.S. Senator from Connecticut. During this time, he played a crucial role in drafting the United States Constitution. His proposals and ideas significantly shaped the development of the legislative branch and the balance of power among the federal government's three branches.Ellsworth's tenure as Chief Justice was marked by efforts to enforce the principles laid out in the Constitution and the Judiciary Act. His diplomatic role was also notable, including his 1799 mission to France, which helped de-escalate tensions and avert a potential war between the two nations.Though less famous than his contemporaries like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, Ellsworth's impact on American law and governance is indisputable. His legal philosophy and decisions continue to influence the U.S. legal system. Despite resigning from the Supreme Court in 1800 due to poor health, his foundational work, particularly the Judiciary Act of 1789, remains a critical element of legal studies and practice in the United States today.Oliver Ellsworth's legacy is a testament to the enduring influence of early American legal thinkers in shaping the judicial landscape of the nation. His birth anniversary serves not only as a remembrance of his personal achievements but also as a celebration of the foundational principles he helped to establish, which continue to govern the United States.The Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) recent nationwide ban on noncompete clauses has significantly impacted state legislatures, prompting many to reconsider and tighten their restrictions on these restrictive covenants. The FTC's initiative marks a significant federal push towards liberalizing labor mobility by prohibiting employers from enforcing noncompete agreements that prevent employees from moving between jobs within the same industry. This move has catalyzed a broader examination of noncompete laws at the state level, with some states already modifying their laws and others poised to follow.Evan Starr, an associate professor at the University of Maryland, suggests that the FTC's proposal has fundamentally altered the discussion around noncompetes, influencing states like Minnesota and New York. Minnesota successfully enacted a ban last year, while New York saw a bill pass the legislature only to be vetoed. Other states, including Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Michigan, are also considering expanding their restrictions on noncompetes.Despite the FTC's robust action, the rule faces legal challenges, rendering its future uncertain. This situation places state-level regulations as the primary enforceable standards, a point emphasized by legal experts and enforcers who advocate for continued strong enforcement of state laws during this period. Gwendolyn Cooley, Wisconsin's assistant attorney general for antitrust, stresses the importance of robust state enforcement.Noncompete agreements affect an estimated 30 million American workers. States like California, Oklahoma, and North Dakota have outright bans on all noncompetes, while other states have more targeted restrictions, such as bans for certain healthcare workers in New Mexico, Iowa, and Kentucky.Legal and business experts debate the FTC's authority to enact such sweeping regulations. Some argue that state legislatures are the appropriate bodies to handle such matters, a sentiment echoed by Neil Bradley from the US Chamber of Commerce. On the other hand, legal scholars like Orly Lobel of the University of San Diego see the FTC's action as a catalyst for more uniform state laws, potentially leading to a regulatory landscape similar to California's stringent stance against noncompetes.Finally, the FTC's rule explicitly states that it does not preempt state laws offering similar or greater protections, nor does it inhibit state-level enforcement actions. This clarification ensures that state authorities can continue to regulate noncompetes independently of the FTC's framework.The FTC's noncompete ban notably highlights the complex interplay between federal initiatives and state law. The rule's explicit allowance for state laws to offer greater protection or to continue separate enforcement actions emphasizes the layered nature of legal authority in the U.S., showcasing how federal and state laws can coexist and complement each other in regulating employment practices. This dual-layer regulation is crucial for understanding the broader implications of legal decisions on employment and competition within states.Battles Over Noncompete Clauses Poised to Heat Up in StatehousesDonald Trump is utilizing the intense media scrutiny surrounding his New York hush money trial to bolster his presidential campaign by embracing the notion that all publicity is good. Despite facing multiple criminal charges, Trump is engaging in presidential-like activities, such as meeting with foreign dignitaries at Trump Tower and making public appearances in Harlem and Manhattan. These efforts are seen as an attempt to maintain his public visibility and portray an image of perseverance against what he describes as a politically motivated trial.Trump's campaign strategy also involves frequent updates on his social media platform, Truth Social, where he continues to claim that the trial is a "witch hunt" and an act of election interference. The trial itself bars media from televising the proceedings, making Trump's own communications and staged public appearances key to keeping his narrative in the public eye. His strategy aims to use the media coverage to his advantage, despite the risks associated with the negative connotations of the trial.Political analysts and strategists note that Trump's ability to turn the trial into a campaign platform may have mixed results. While it keeps him in the public eye, the ongoing coverage of the trial's sordid details could potentially alienate some voters. However, his campaign team remains confident that these actions will ultimately rally support against what they view as unjust persecution.The trial has become a focal point not just for Trump's legal battles, but also for his campaign's efforts to contrast his proactive engagement with what they portray as the failures of the Biden administration. This strategy includes showcasing Trump's involvement in significant global issues and his resilience in the face of legal adversity, hoping to secure voter support amidst the controversy.Trump trial tests his campaign strategy of embracing bad publicity | ReutersA recent survey by Major, Lindsey & Africa and Leopard Solutions revealed that 45% of junior associates feel that law school did not adequately prepare them for practical aspects of their legal careers. This sentiment was drawn from feedback from 546 junior associates who also highlighted a discrepancy between the skills taught in law school, primarily litigation-focused, and the transactional skills required in their current roles.Additionally, 31% of the associates expressed that their experiences at law firms did not meet their initial expectations post-law school. This group of associates pointed out the lack of practical training and the adverse impact of starting their careers during the COVID-19 pandemic, which limited face-to-face interactions and personalized training.Despite these challenges, the survey found a high level of job satisfaction among junior associates, with 83% stating they would choose to work at their current firm again, and 79% satisfied with their assigned tasks. Moreover, 67% plan to stay at their current firms for three or more years, though gender disparities were noted in aspirations for law firm partnership and long-term commitment to their firms, with men showing higher likelihoods in both areas.The survey underscores the need for law schools to adapt their curricula to include more practical skills training, particularly in transactional law, and for law firms to be mindful of gender disparities in career development opportunities.Law school failed to prepare 45% of junior associates for practice, survey finds | ReutersOpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT and backed by Microsoft, is facing a privacy complaint in Austria lodged by the advocacy group NOYB. The complaint arose after ChatGPT provided incorrect information regarding the birthday of a public figure, and failed to rectify or erase the erroneous data upon request. NOYB argues that ChatGPT's inability to correct the data or provide transparency about its data processing violates EU privacy laws. The complaint emphasizes the challenges in ensuring that AI-generated content complies with stringent data accuracy and transparency requirements mandated by EU regulations. This incident highlights ongoing concerns about the reliability of AI technologies and their compliance with established legal standards, specifically regarding the handling of personal information.OpenAI's ChatGPT targeted in Austrian privacy complaint | Reuters Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

This idea that the default needs to be that we need to collect as little as possible and use the data that we collect to a very narrow channel of predefined use because that will protect our privacy. And the assumption also kind of the next step in this fallacy analysis that's really flawed is that when we collect more information, we're actually going to be harming the more vulnerable.Is the law counterproductive?15:21: I think that we've designed our laws in ways that are counterproductive by restricting the inputs into decision-making rather than checking on the outputs.Rethinking the role of public investment37:21: We're at a moment where there's going to be acceleration. There's always been a lot of changes. But right now, for sure, there's going to be a leap in speed in which some jobs are going to be annihilated and others are going to be available. So there's very much a role for public investment there for digital literacy and re-skilling that will not necessarily be provided by the market.What makes an employee do their job well?31:56: When they think about their careers and their human capital as their own, even from time zero, employees will invest much more in doing the job well.Show Links:Recommended Resources:Yuval FeldmanGary BeckerSilicon Valley ShowGuest Profile:Faculty Profile at University of San DiegoProfessional Profile at Harvard UniversityOrly Lobel's WebsiteOrly Lobel on LinkedInOrly Lobel on TwitterOrly Lobel on TEDxUCIrvineHer Work:Orly Lobel on Google ScholarThe Equality Machine: Harnessing Digital Technology for a Brighter, More Inclusive FutureYou Don't Own Me: The Court Battles That Exposed Barbie's Dark SideTalent Wants to Be Free: Why We Should Learn to Love Leaks, Raids, and Free Riding

Artificial Intelligence is advancing at what seems like an exponential rate, with every month—sometimes every week—bringing news of a new, game-changing discovery. But just as the progress in AI is accelerating, so is the pessimism about it, with many scholars, commentators, and technologists themselves raising the alarm about AI's potential harms to equality, privacy, and security.Challenging this consensus is Orly Lobel, a law professor at the University of San Diego and the author of the new book, "The Equality Machine: Harnessing Digital Technology for a Brighter, More Inclusive Future." Lawfare Senior Editor Alan Rozenshtein sat down with Orly to discuss her book, why she's optimistic about AI's potential to advance equality, and what the government can do to help.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare.

How much does the general public really trust tech? Despite increased scrutiny and critique of digital platforms, renowned tech policy scholar Orly Lobel defends digital technology, including AI, as a powerful tool we can harness to achieve equality and a better future. Lobel recognizes the criticism of big data and automation, and she does not refute the many challenges that technology presents — but at the same time, Lobel encourages us to improve it. We cannot stop technological development, Lobel argues, but we can direct its course according to our most fundamental values. In The Equality Machine: Harnessing Digital Technology for a Brighter, More Inclusive Future, Lobel presents evidence that digital technology frequently has a comparative advantage over humans in detecting discrimination, correcting historical exclusions, subverting long-standing stereotypes, and addressing some of the world's complex problems: climate, poverty, injustice, literacy, accessibility, speech, health, and safety. Lobel offers insights in each chapter that tackle everything from labor markets to dating markets, revealing just how much of our lives can be changed — and in her view, improved — via technology. Through analysis and storytelling, The Equality Machine promises to add to the robust, ongoing debate about technology and serves as a call to restore human agency over our own values.

The Equality Machine: Harnessing Digital Technology for a Brighter, More Inclusive Future (Hardcover) Elliott Bay Books

This is a “big ideas” episode, part of our goal to bring out “big ambitious ideas about the future" as well as day to day concerns about ALSPs and legal services.  Law professor Orly Lobel talks with host Mike Madison about her new book, The Equality Machine: Harnessing Digital Technology for a Brighter, More Inclusive Future, recently named one of the best books of 2022 by The Economist magazine.  In the conversation and in the book, she talks about how scepticism about AI and robots can get overblown. Are they always uncontrollable, incomprehensible, privacy-eating systems? She argues no: in proper measure they have the power to do enormous good in the world.  Much of the book draws its argument from beyond law, so in this episode she focused on the specifics of the legal world, especially when it comes to access to justice and dispute resolution systems. Make sure you tune in every Tuesday for everything legaltech, ALSP's and law.  Head to www.thefuturelawpodcast.com for more information.  Thanks for listening!  CREDITS:  Hosts: Mike Madison & Dan Hunter  Executive Producer/Editor: Pariya TaherzadehSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Thursday, October 20th, 2022   Orly Lobel is the Warren Distinguished Professor of Law and the Director of the Center for Employment and Labor Law. Her latest book is The Equality Machine: Harnessing Digital Technology for a Brighter, More Inclusive Future. We discuss reframing our public discourse around technology in order to proactively use it as a tool for equality.    Lobel urges us to think about what our goals, social norms, and values are in a democratic society. Because we're racing forward with integrating technology into our lives, we need a more balanced debate about how privacy ought to be offset by other values. In addition to talking about AI technology gone wrong, we should consider the comparative advantage of AI over a human decision maker, who has a lot of biases.    Follow Orly on Twitter:  https://twitter.com/orlylobel    Follow Mila on Twitter:  https://twitter.com/milaatmos    Follow Future Hindsight on Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/futurehindsightpod/   Love Future Hindsight?

Technology's prime and still growing role in society has led to a crescendo of criticism that it has exacerbated inequality. Critics say that the economic models and algorithms underpinning out apps and platforms are tearing apart our social fabric, fracturing the economy, casualizing labor, and increasing hostility between nations. But for all the negativity around technology, there is a parallel positive story of how technology can empower people to achieve their best lives. Whether it's dynamically adjusting insulin pumps that allow diabetics greater freedom to pursue their dreams, or reliable algorithms that can reduce human bias in everything from hiring to dating, technology has also added tremendous value to society. That's the theme of “The Equality Machine: Harnessing Digital Technology for a Brighter, More Inclusive Future,” a new book by Orly Lobel, the Warren Distinguished Professor of Law and Director of the Center for Employment and Labor Policy at the University of San Diego. Lobel joins host Danny Crichton to talk about how her daughter became bionic, why alarmist titles of recent critical tech books belie the comparative advantage of algorithms, the actual black box of human minds, feedback loops in doctor's offices and the medical professions, and finally … sex robots. Because they have feelings (and algorithms) too.

AI affects every aspect of our lives, from romantic and personal relationships to finances, personal care, and employment. But AI and automation also provide incredible opportunities to take your CX efforts to the next level and lead a wave of new technology. Orly Lobel, author of The Equality Machine, says AI and automation can play a pivotal role in increasing equality and changing how people interact and manage all parts of their lives.  ________ Blake Morgan is a customer experience futurist, keynote speaker, and author of the bestselling book The Customer Of The Future. For regular updates on customer experience, sign up for her weekly newsletter here.

The COVID-19 pandemic has hit gig economy workforces particularly hard, amplifying the vulnerabilities workers face when they lack the same financial and medical protections as other jobs. Now, these challenges are being taken up in court as contractors, freelancers, app-based workers and more struggle to get by in the midst of the crisis. On this episode, Orly Lobel — a labor law expert and University of San Diego School of Law professor of law — takes a deep dive into the gig economy in the time of COVID-19 and explores potential lasting solutions to the most pressing issues.

When Carter Bryant invented Bratz dolls, Mattel (the makers of Barbie) took its former employee to court, claiming he had come up with his ideas on the company’s time. Bratz were the first dolls to successfully compete and - in some places - outsell Barbie. Orly Lobel, a law professor at the University of San Diego, has written about the lengthy and costly legal fight Mattel and Bryant engaged in over Bratz in her book: You Don’t Own Me: The Court Battles That Exposed Barbie’s Dark Side. That fight, Lobel explains, was emblematic of a serious issue that American workers now face: heavy restrictions on their talent and creative ideas.

When it comes to attracting A-Players to your business, tapping into the networks of A-Players is key. But, what if you have exhausted your contacts? Then what? In her latest edition in the How to Hire the Best Series, Dr. Sabrina shares David Burkus’ insights on how to network based on human behavior and psychology, and not rote networking advice that we frequently hear. David joins Dr. Sabrina to on today’s show to challenge our outdated notions about how we “should” network. These insights will be powerful in helping you attract A-Players to your team. Plus, Dr. Sabrina digs into radical management practices from David’s other book, Under New Management, that the Tap the Potential team and some of our clients are experiencing great success with.  David Burkus is a best-selling author, a sought-after keynote speaker, and an Associate Professor of Leadership and Innovation. His newest book, Friend of a Friend, offers readers a new perspective on how to grow their networks and build key connections, one based on the science of human behavior, not rote networking advice. He’s delivered keynotes to the leaders of Fortune 500 companies and the future leaders of the United States Naval Academy. His TED Talk has been viewed over two million times and he is a regular contributor to Harvard Business Review. Show Highlights: David’s inspiration for writing Friend of a Friend was from two different ideas: 1) New studies from the world of network science, which are fascinating but not always practical; and 2) Annoyance at the networking advice books, which tend to be autobiographical. Dr. Sabrina covers a challenge business owners encounter with networking to attract A-players, and how she discovered the answers in one of David’s books. When people think they’ve asked everyone they know when searching for an A-player, most of the time they have only asked people they feel comfortable asking.  The subtitle of David’s book is the Hidden Network and describes those people that you already know, but you’re forgetting.  Most people would benefit from a system where they’re constantly pinging those people, reaching out to them whenever a thought of them is triggered, such as by reading a news article or seeing something on social media that brings them to mind. This move is beneficial for not only when you’re looking to hire, but looking to be hired, as well. David explains the concept of tapping into networks through brokers, and the key to finding out if you’re already a broker or relying on brokers. It’s not enough to just build a diverse team because the team, the longer it works together, will be less and less diverse. The longer they work together, the more they are going to think alike. Be mindful of constant refreshing. Dr. Sabrina and David discuss the concept of “no email”, and how it can be doable and beneficial. David delves into the science of oxytocin and what happens to us in our bodies when trust is extended and how we reciprocate around that.  Don’t cater to C-and-D-players when designing policies and procedures. In North America, we brag about how much we work. We need to flip this and senior leaders need to be showy about how little they’re around and be gone so that other team members get the message that taking time off is actually Ok. Dr. Sabrina and David discuss the 4-Week Vacation™ Challenge and David research backing up how important it is to fully unplug for an extended period of time. Can you really get rid of the annual performance review? David says ditch it! Instead, invest time in training your managers on how to coach team members. Get Ready for 2020!!

In this episode, Orly Lobel, Don Weckstein Professor of Labor and Employment Law at the University of San Diego School of Law, discusses her book "You Don't Own Me: How Mattel v. MGA Entertainment Exposed Barbie's Dark Side," which is published by W.W. Norton & Company. Lobel begins by explaining the background of Mattel v. MGA, which pitted the maker of the iconic Barbie doll against the maker of the upstart Bratz dolls. She describes how the enigmatic Mattel designer Carter Bryant came up with the Bratz concept and took it to MGA, which turned it into a blockbuster success, the first series of dolls to challenge Barbie's market dominance. She discusses on how Mattel tried to use contract and copyright law to wrest Bratz away from MGA, and the epic legal battle that follows. And she reflects on how the case should inform our understanding of innovation and competition policy. Lobel is on Twitter at @OrlyLobel. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

You Don’t Own Me is Orly Lobel’s fascinating examination of a landmark legal battle between plastic dolls. The Mattel v MGA, Barbie v Bratz case exposed questions about gender, culture and rights in the workplace.

Years ago, the great Dorothy Parker said that the movie business was the only business where the assets went home at night….Well that may have had a ring a truth then, but today in a world where intellectual property and human capital are what makes our economy tick, it seems that the assets always go home at night. And what they do, what they think about, and what they conceive of when they are home, opens a minefield of issues that are legal, cultural and human. Add to these issues the global world where work is 24/7, where nomadic work patterns are the subject of a NY Times Magazine cover story, and where a single idea can be worth billions and can change the world, the consequences of these issues are enormous. Distinguished law professor Orly Lobel in You Don't Own Me: How Mattel v. MGA Entertainment Exposed Barbie's Dark Side, tells a story of the toy business that is both compelling in its own right and emblematic of the future of law and work. My conversation with Orly Lobel:

If you've been reading Techdirt for more than five years, you probably remember the conclusion of Mattel v. MGA — and if you've been reading for more than thirteen years, you might even remember when it started. This epic legal battle over intellectual property went through nearly a decade of rulings and reversals, and the resulting story is a fascinating one that ties in a lot of the topics we discuss here at Techdirt. It's also the subject of the new book You Don't Own Me by law professor Orly Lobel, who joins us on this week's episode to revisit this particular law opera and what it says about the wider world of IP.
