This is going to be a great opportunity to test my less regulation = more tort thesis.

Turns out the forces behind less regulation are the same ones behind damages caps.

I think the evidence is already very strong for this in public health law, FWIW. Likely to accelerate, for sure.

Ooh I’m not a lawyer but I need this to talk about Ai with lawyers. Pointers, perchance? Still chasing the elusive additional footnotes of your work in adjacent fields in order to help your h-index get where it ought to be.

I would go on SSRN and search AI. There's a lot of new work on AI + [some legal doctrine]. None of it mine!

Oh, sure. I mean specifically the idea that less regulation = more torts. That might be a very useful argument for why companies shouldn’t just reflexively go with less regulation as their default policy preference. . AI policy already faces forms of industry capture.

The main issue for me is whether AI tech, corporate practices, and policy will lead to a more just, equitable society or one that is less so.

Orly Lobel The Equality Machine is one pro-AI book I'm sure you already know it

Did you, perchance, have a monkey's paw in your hand when you were thinking about that thesis?

Rabbit's foot?
