Oh, all the money that e'er I spent
I spent it in good company

I'll gently rise and I'll softly call
Goodnight and joy be with you all

And a very special thanks to Michael Byrne for creating the stunning CTRL-ALT website, which perfectly captures what we are trying to do. 5/5

During the pandemic, we soft-launched the Cornell Tech Research Lab in Applied Law and Technology, a/k/a CTRL-ALT. It's home to a remarkable group of lawyers, technologists, and scholars who do cutting-edge law+CS research.

I am grateful to the remarkable students who make CTRL-ALT so much fun, to Cornell for creating an environment that brings them together, and to Helen Nissenbaum for giving CTRL-ALT a home within the Digital Life Initiative.

@abila1914 Yes, that is a major theme of the course, on both the law and the technical sides.

I’ll be teaching a new research seminar this spring: The Law of Software. It deals with issues “in which the legal treatment of software depends on the technical details of how that software works.”

PR colleagues, this were actual lawyer advertising, would it subject the lawyer to disciplinary action? https://t.co/e3Mpg7v8UW

@tiffanycli Lots of interesting angles here, including data trails, browser fingerprinting, differential privacy, discrciminatory proxies under various learning algorithms, export controls and functionality/speech …

Even if we can’t fit it all, these are also good paper ideas.
