The Law and Economics of Web 3.0

Confronting the abuse, exploitation and manipulation of personal data collected via internet use is one of society’s great challenges. The legal and economic issues related to the property rights of these harvested data have implications for topics including personal safety, firm profitability and consumer welfare.

Moreover, targeted misinformation campaigns which exploit such data, combined with the web's unparalleled capacity to reach and influence a specified audience, represents a danger to the world' s democracies.

As we prepare for generation 3.0 of the web, a panel of experts will discuss many of the extraordinarily urgent questions which will accompany its arrival.

Participants:

• Anupam Chander, Scott K. Ginsburg Professor of Law and Technology, Georgetown Law
• Frances Haugen, Advocate for Accountability and Transparency in Social Media
• Nathaniel Persily, James B. McClatchy Professor of Law, Stanford Law School
• Bryan Rich, Leader for Global Artificial Intelligence for the Public Sector, Accenture.

 Moderated by Sergei Guriev, Provost, Sciences Po.
