Artificial Intelligence and Trade

Abstract: Artificial Intelligence is already powering trade today. It is crossing borders, learning, making decisions, and operating cyber-physical systems. It underlies many of the services that are offered today – from customer service chatbots to customer relations software to business processes. The chapter considers AI regulation from the perspective of international trade law. It argues that foreign AI should be regulated by governments – indeed that AI must be ‘locally responsible’. The chapter refutes arguments that trade law should not apply to AI and shows how the WTO agreements might apply to AI using two hypothetical cases . The analysis reveals how the WTO agreements leave room for governments to insist on locally responsible AI, while at the same time promoting international trade powered by AI.

Wall Street Scandals: The Curative Effects of Law and Finance

Abstract: This paper studies three scandals that embroiled US financial markets during the past decade, including the Nasdaq market-makers' use only of odd-eighths quotes, the abuse of specialist power on the New York Stock Exchange, and the mutual fund scandal We attempt to attribute the resolution of these situations to the curative effects of markets versus regulation We argue that the intervention of the legal system through regulation and/or litigation is often necessary to help resolve the misalignment of incentives needed for markets to accomplish their goal of maximizing value The paper suggests that there exists an important synergy between financial markets and law that is often overlooked

Is the Rule of Law Cosmopolitan

Abstract: In a short and artful essay that evoked a blaze of criticism, Martha Nussbaum urged us a few years ago to heed the ancient call for a virtuous and humane cosmopolitanism: if we are sincere in our societal commitment to justice, and genuine in our individual quest to lead a just and good life, then we must acknowledge the moral equality - the equal worth and equal dignity - of each and all of the world's inhabitants. This claim, if true and if seriously regarded, would have profound consequences. Individual, national and communal choices and actions, Nussbaum and her classical authorities say, must, to be just, be undertaken in full and equal regard for the consequences they impose upon all - not just upon our community, our tribe, our nation, our neighbors, or friends, those we see or hear from on a daily basis, or those to whom we have ties forged of blood, genes, geography, affection, common boundaries or shared traditions - but upon us all.

Stratification, Inequality, and the SAT: Toward an SAT-Optional Movement

Abstract: This paper argues that the current SAT produces and reinforces educational inequality, and that such inequality could be reduced if all universities adopted the SAT-optional paradigm. Specifically, the paper contends that: (1) the SAT reinforces social group inequality by transforming unacceptable inequality into acceptable merit-based distinctions; (2) the SAT creates inequality based on form of intelligence possessed by elevating logical-mathematical and linguistic intelligence above all the other forms; and (3) the SAT-optional paradigm, while not a panacea, would help address these issues.

Egypt's New Constitution: The Islamist Difference

Abstract: The paper discusses the distributional impact of the rules of the new Egyptian constitution (2012). It specifically addresses the way such rules, substantive and (potentially) procedural, can influence Egyptian law's identity and the underlying relations between the state and individuals and among individuals themselves that such identity implies.
