March 8, 2017
Not sure this is actually a “set back for AI in Medicine.” Rather, long story short — it ain’t 2014 anymore … as we discuss in our talk – Machine Learning as a Service : #MLaaS, Open Source and the Future of Legal Analytics – what started with Watson has turned into significant competition among major technology industry players.

Corporation as Courthouse
February 14, 2017
Rory Van Loo (Boston University) has published “The Corporation as Courthouse” in the Yale Journal on Regulation, available here. I read an early version of this article; it’s fascinating. The abstract: Despite the considerable attention paid to mandatory arbitration, few consumer disputes ever reach arbitration. By contrast, institutions such as Apple’s customer service department handle hundreds of millions of disputes annually. This Article argues that understanding businesses’ internal...

Why Lawyers Are Bad At Relationships
February 5, 2017
