At a time when AI and digital platforms are under fire, Orly Lobel defends technology as a powerful tool we can harness to achieve equality and a better future.
Much has been written about the challenges tech presents to equality and democracy. In her book Orly Lobel makes a compelling argument that while we cannot stop technological development, we can direct its course according to our most fundamental values. Her vivid examples - from labor markets to dating markets - provide powerful evidence for how we can harness technology for good.
We cordially invite you to the book’s presentation and discussion with the author on March 26th, 4pm in the main hall of the Weizenbaum Institute. Hardenbergstraße 32, 10623 Berlin. No registration necessary.
Orly Lobel is an award-winning author and the Warren Distinguished Professor of Law at the University of San Diego. She is the Director of the Program of Employment and Labor Law as well as the founding faculty of the Center for Intellectual Property and Markets. She is the author of two previous books, You Don’t Own Me: How Mattel Vs. MGA Entertainment Exposed Barbie’s Dark Side, and Talent Wants to Be Free: Why We Should Learn to Love Leaks, Raids, and Free Riding.
