In this paper, I distinguish three types of harm that can arise in the context of artificial intelligence (AI): individual harm, collective harm and societal harm. Societal harm is often overlooked, yet not reducible to the two former types of harm. Moreover, mechanisms to tackle individual and...

As artificial intelligence (AI) thrives and propagates through modern life, a key question to ask is how to include humans in future AI?

Recent proposals by the neo-Brandeisian School of antitrust seek to ameliorate harms to society created by social media monopolies. While this initiative sounds great on paper, their solutions are inadequate, as they leave the proprietary, profit-seeking structure of social media networking...

Civil society plays a crucial role in governance where laws and authority are weak. Increasingly, multinationals operate in these complex environments. We study how a key strategy of international civil society--disseminating information about human rights abuse--impacts multinationals. To do...
