So excited to help convene this workshop on digital intimacy and vulnerability theory! Many interesting ethical and legal questions arise when we consider human-AI relations as potentially intimate. Please help spread the word!

Read the call for papers for two exciting upcoming workshops: one on digital intimacy & the other on vulnerability theory + human rights as alternative paradigms for exploring state responsibility. Read it here: conta.cc/3uBT2WJ @MarthaLAFineman @EmoryLaw @jenhickeylaw

Please read this article. There are so many things to be outraged about that I don’t even know where to start.

Yes. All of this. "It makes it seem as though economic opportunities are available to all via the internet, and thus any individual economic struggles are just that—and never the fault of deindustrialization, capital flight, stagnant wages, or a shrunken, punitive welfare state"

Had the pleasure of interviewing Dr Tanya Krupiy about artificial intelligence decision-making processes for our Voices in Vulnerability podcast. Give it a listen!

This week’s Digest explores artificial intelligence technology through the lens of vulnerability theory; illustrating the theory’s versatility and applicability to a wide range of issues. conta.cc/3aRRs9I @EmoryLaw



Got a pedicure today after a long pandemic wait. Overheard someone saying that their father would take potential hires to lunch and not hire them if they salted food without tasting first because it means they make decisions without all the facts. Can't stop thinking about this.
