The Equality Machine: Harnessing Digital Technology for a Brighter, More Inclusive Future

November 9, 2023 -
3:00pm to 4:00pm

Orly Lobel, LLM, SJD
Warren Distinguished Professor of Law
Director of the Center for Employment and Labor Policy
University of San Diego School of Law

Abstract: Dr. Lobel will demonstrate that although technology presents many challenges to equality and democracy, it also has a comparative advantage over humans in detecting discrimination, correcting historical exclusions, subverting stereotypes, and addressing long-standing issues such as climate, poverty, injustice, literacy, accessibility, speech, health, and safety. Her examples—from labor markets to dating markets—will provide evidence for how technology can be harnessed for good.

This Future of Law in Technology and Governance Scholarly Seminar is co-sponsored by the Center for Governance and Markets and the Center for Bioethics & Health Law.
