Is AI a Closed Shop & Can AI Influence Elections?

In this edition of TechLaw10, Jonathan Armstrong talks with Attorney and Professor Eric Sinrod to discuss more AI-related issues, including the dominance of a few technology businesses in critical aspects of the AI infrastructure and concerns that AI might be used to influence elections, including the US Presidential elections this year.

Jonathan looks at the role of competition/anti-trust law in AI. He highlights the Competition Appeal Tribunal proceedings against Facebook for market dominance, which could lead to a claim of £3bn on behalf of 45 million Facebook users. He then looks at issues with Common Crawl and the use of their data repositories to train AI. What are the implications when 80% of Generative AI relies on data from just one organization? Could using Common Crawl data for different purposes lead to issues?

Eric looks at fears of using AI in the forthcoming US elections. Jonathan mentions proposed legislation from Assemblyman Clyde Vanel.

Cordery Head to Head @ Home: Eric Sinrod on predictions for the major TechLaw events of 2021


In this edition of Cordery Head to Head @ Home Cordery’s Jonathan Armstrong talks to Professor Eric Sinrod from his home in California.
It’s a look ahead at what 2021 might mean for the world of technology.
We recorded the film on 19 January 2021 – the last day of the Trump administration.
Listen to the episode now:

Eric & Jonathan try to predict 5 major TechLaw events or trends for 2021 covering issues in the US and in Europe. It is a subjective list in the style of Eric and Jonathan’s previous TechLaw10 predictions (here www.techlaw10.com)
They predict:

  1. Continued increases in cybercrime. Eric looks at the effects of the recent US Presidential Elections and the changing role of social media in elections. Jonathan looks at the trend of cybercriminals trained by hostile governments moving into the private sector and a rise in cybermercenaries. Jonathan also talks about the rise in cybercrime exploiting working from home during the pandemic. He also predicts a new trend of ‘cybershorting’ with ransomware gangs using their tools and techniques to manipulate stock markets to their advantage.
  2. Eric talks about section 230 of the US Communications Decency Act and whether it can last in the new world of social media. Jonathan thinks the banning of Trump from social media will lead to a wider debate about online content and censorship.
  3. Jonathan looks at the challenges of regulating tech giants and the coming together of anti-trust/competition law, privacy and fair trade rules. He predicts that the size of bigtech operators will increasingly be a global political issue. He also predicts that these disputes will spill over into smaller tech players, including equipment manufacturers too. Eric talks about moves to split up bigtech operations (including Facebook) in the US.
  4. Eric looks at the challenges of going back to work after the pandemic. Will the world return to normal and what happens when people don’t feel its safe to return to the workplace? There is more detail on some of these considerations here bit.ly/cvrtw
  5. Jonathan looks at a bumper year for GDPR in 2020 but predicts a stormy year for data transfer in 2021 with the challenges of the collapse of Privacy Shield, the issues with Standard Contractual Clauses and the issues brought about by Brexit.
