In this time, breakthroughs in the field have generated technologies that compare to or outperform humans in tasks requiring creativity and complex reasoning. AI’s growing catalog of applications and methods has the potential to profoundly affect public policy by generating instances where regulations are not adequate to confront the issues faced by society, also known as regulatory gaps. The objective of this dissertation is to improve our understanding of how AI influences U.S. public policy. It systematically explores, for the first time, the role of AI in the generation of regulatory gaps. Specifically, it addresses two research questions: 1. What U.S. regulatory gaps exist due to AI methods and applications? 2. When looking across all of the gaps identified in the first research question, what trends and insights emerge that can help stakeholders plan for the future? These questions are answered through a systematic review of four academic databases of literature in the hard and social sciences. Its implementation was guided by a protocol that initially identified 5,240 candidate articles. A screening process reduced this sample to 241 articles (published between 1976 and February of 2018) relevant to answering the research questions. This dissertation contributes to the literature by adapting the work of Bennett-Moses and Calo to effectively characterize regulatory gaps caused by AI in the U.S. In addition, it finds that most gaps: do not require new regulation or the creation of governance frameworks for their resolution, are found at the federal and state levels of government, and AI applications are recognized more often than methods as their cause. iii Executive Summary As a formal discipline, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is over 60 years old. In this time, breakthroughs in the field have generated technologies that compare to or outperform humans in tasks requiring creativity and complex reasoning. All sectors of the economy are increasingly subject to this technology’s influence thanks to rapid advances in information processing and consumer demand for competitive offerings. Many of AI’s applications or methods have no discernible effect on how existing regulations or policies are interpreted or applied.1 In other words, they are policy agnostic. However, AI has the potential to profoundly impact public policy. The progress towards achieving parity between machine processing and human cognition has generated instances where public policies are not adequate to confront the issues faced by society, also known as regulatory gaps. The literature on the relationship between policy and AI is generally siloed and, as Calo points out, limited resources have been dedicated to taking a broad look across the corpus of this technology’s impact.2,3 The objective of this dissertation is to respond to the challenge for a thorough and systematic analysis of the literature on the intersection between AI and policy. It contributes to this field’s scholarship by systematically identifying, for the first time, the role of AI in the generation of regulatory gaps. Specifically, it addresses two research questions: 1. What U.S. regulatory gaps exist due to AI methods and applications? 2. When looking across all of the gaps identified in the first research question, what trends and insights emerge that can help stakeholders plan for the future? To answer these questions, I performed a systematic review of the literature. This methodology was selected because it “attempts to collect and analyze all evidence that answers a specific question” through a “broad and thorough search of the literature.”4 The implementation of the systematic review was guided by a protocol that initially identified 5,240 candidate articles within four academic literature databases that incorporate different lenses in the hard and social sciences (they include legal and computer science scholarship, among others). A screening process reduced the sample to a final set of 241 articles (published between 1976 and February of 2018) that were directly relevant to answering these research questions. Two ideas were fundamental in characterizing the regulatory gaps in the systematic review. The first is a framework adapted from Bennett-Moses’s work that describes the origin of regulatory gaps. 5 The left side of Table 1 identifies four ways in which technology can create a gap. The second idea, on the right side of Table 1, is adapted from Ryan Calo’s work on uncovering the 1 Lyria Bennett-Moses, Recurring Dilemmas: The Law's Race to Keep up with Technological Change, UNSW LAW RESEARCH PAPER (2007). 2 Ryan Calo, Artificial Intelligence Policy: A Primer and Roadmap, SSRN (2017). 3 Calo alludes that “notably missing is any systematic review of the ways AI challenges existing legal doctrines.” Id. at. 4 CDC, Systematic Reviews(2019), available at https://www.cdc.gov/library/researchguides/sytemsaticreviews.html. 5 Bennett-Moses, UNSW LAW RESEARCH PAPER, (2007). v social themes where policy interacts with AI. 6 These ideas made it possible to carefully review the regulatory gaps within the 241 articles and explore their trends.

These were catalogued based on: the type of gap (Bennett-Moses’s framework), theme they fell under (Ryan Calo’s taxonomy), level of government involved (federal, state, or local), their temporality (whether it describes a gap experienced today or speculates of one in the future), and if the gap is caused by an application (a technology’s purpose) or method (process/procedure to accomplish its purpose) of AI. It is important to note that articles in the systematic review were not screened based on a specific definition of AI. Instead, it relied on the review process within academic publications to validate the use of the term. Each characterization of a gap roughly follows the same format. It begins by asserting the type of regulatory gap identified (based on Bennett-Moses’ framework), includes background information on the subject, and presents evidence that supports its classification.

In this chapter, we will look at both stories with a view to better understanding the paradoxes of critical practice, each tale providing us with a different point of entry to the complexities of artistic practice and philosophical thought. The story of Prometheus has its fullest elaboration in Hesiod’s Theogony and we will attend to this tale in the second half of the chapter.2 The myth of Pygmalion also has several versions including many neoclassical and more contemporary re-tellings.3 The stories represent two different paradigms for creation, although they contain overlapping elements. The case of Prometheus is a model for creation that emphases theft and punishment, while the story of Pygmalion offers us an account of creation based upon illusion and misidentification. The former is a tale of inscription and disruption, the latter myth concerns representation and misreading.

  • CAPTAIN MARVEL # History: the History of the Drug Supplier and Cult Leader Known As the Black Talon Is Currently Unrevealed
    BLACK TALON Villain Real Name: Unrevealed. Occupation: Cult leader, drug supplier. Identity: Secret. Legal Status: Citizen of the United States (Puerto Rico) with no criminal record. Other Aliases: The Living Loa, "Chicken-head". Place of Birth: Presumably somewhere in Puerto Rico. Marital Status: Single. Known Relatives: None. Group Affiliation: Head of his own voodoo cult. Base of Operations: A sugar/cocaine plantation in Puerto Rico. First Post-Reboot Appearance: CAPTAIN MARVEL # History: The history of the drug supplier and cult leader known as the Black Talon is currently unrevealed. At some point in the past, he learned the art of voodoo and put that talent to work in raising zombies to work a farm – in reality a Colonial-era plantation he either inherited or acquired – where he grew marijuana and coca plants alongside sugar cane (the plantation's legitimate crop). At the same time, he began a cult of voodoo worshippers who revered him as a "living loa" (the "loa" being the spirits or gods – the line between them is often blurred – invoked by voodoo practitioners.). In time, he became one of the largest suppliers of marijuana and cocaine in the Caribbean, with contacts in Miami, Havana, San Juan, and New Orleans. Black Talon's operations first came into conflict with the current generation of superheroes when a rocket launched by NASA carrying a payload of a powerful nerve gas to be disposed of by being sent into the sun was sabotaged and landed off the coast from his plantation. This brought him into conflict with Captain Marvel, who was under orders from his superior, Colonel Yon-Rogg, to release the nerve gas on a human settlement (see Captain Marvel; Yon-Rogg).

  • Laughing with Kafka After Promethean Shame
    PROBLEMI INTERNATIONAL,Laughing with vol. Kafka 2, no. 2,after 2018 Promethean © Society for Shame Theoretical Psychoanalysis Laughing with Kafka after Promethean Shame Jean-Michel Rabaté We have learned that Kafka’s main works deploy a fully-fledged political critique whose main weapon is derision.1 This use of laughter to satirize totalitarian regimes has been analyzed under the name of the “political grotesque” by Joseph Vogl. Here is what Vogl writes: From the terror of secret scenes of torture to childish officials, from the filth of the bureaucratic order to atavistic rituals of power runs a track of comedy that forever indicates the absence of reason, the element of the arbitrary in the execution of power and rule. How- ever, the element of the grotesque does not unmask and merely denounce. Rather it refers—as Foucault once pointed out—to the inevitability, the inescapability of precisely the grotesque, ridicu- lous, loony, or abject sides of power. Kafka’s “political grotesque” displays an unsystematic arbitrariness, which belongs to the func- tions of the apparatus itself. […] Kafka’s comedy turns against a diagnosis that conceives of the modernization of political power as 1 This essay is a condensed version of the second part of Kafka L.O.L., forthcoming from Quodlibet in 2018. In the first part, I address laughter in Kaf- ka’s works, showing that it takes its roots in the culture of a “comic grotesque” dominant in Expressionist German culture. Günther Anders’s groundbreaking book on Kafka then highlights the political dimensions of the work while criti- cizing Kafka’s Promethean nihilism.

  • The Complete Stories
    The Complete Stories by Franz Kafka a.b.e-book v3.0 / Notes at the end Back Cover : "An important book, valuable in itself and absolutely fascinating. The stories are dreamlike, allegorical, symbolic, parabolic, grotesque, ritualistic, nasty, lucent, extremely personal, ghoulishly detached, exquisitely comic. numinous and prophetic." -- New York Times "The Complete Stories is an encyclopedia of our insecurities and our brave attempts to oppose them." -- Anatole Broyard Franz Kafka wrote continuously and furiously throughout his short and intensely lived life, but only allowed a fraction of his work to be published during his lifetime. Shortly before his death at the age of forty, he instructed Max Brod, his friend and literary executor, to burn all his remaining works of fiction. Fortunately, Brod disobeyed. Page 1 The Complete Stories brings together all of Kafka's stories, from the classic tales such as "The Metamorphosis," "In the Penal Colony" and "The Hunger Artist" to less-known, shorter pieces and fragments Brod released after Kafka's death; with the exception of his three novels, the whole of Kafka's narrative work is included in this volume. The remarkable depth and breadth of his brilliant and probing imagination become even more evident when these stories are seen as a whole. This edition also features a fascinating introduction by John Updike, a chronology of Kafka's life, and a selected bibliography of critical writings about Kafka.

  • Is the Artificial Intelligent? a Perspective on AI-Based Natural Language Processors
    Pobrane z czasopisma New Horizons in English Studies http://newhorizons.umcs.pl Data: 16/03/2020 15:10:20 New Horizons in English Studies 4/2019 LANGUAGE • Wojciech Błachnio Maria Curie-SkłodowSka univerSity, LubLin [email protected] Is the Artificial Intelligent? A Perspective on AI-based Natural Language Processors Abstract. The issue of the relation between AI and human mind has been riddling the scientific world for ages. Having been an innate and exclusive faculty of the human mind, language is now manifested in a countless number of ways, transcending beyond the human-only production. There are applica- tions that can not only understand what is meant by an utterance, but also engage in a quasi-humane discourse. The manner of their operating is perfectly organised and can be accounted for by incorporat- ing linguistic theories. The main theory used in this article is Fluid Construction Grammar, which has been developed by Luc Steels. It is concerned with parsing and the segmentation of any utterance – two processes that are pivotalUMCS in AI’s understanding and production of language. This theory, in addition to five main facets of languages (phonological, morphological, semantic, syntactic and pragmatic), provides valuable insight into discrepancies between the natural and artificial perceptions of language. Though there are similarities between them, the article shall conclude with what makes two adjacent capabilities different. The aim of this paper is to display the mechanisms of AI natural language proces- sors with the aid of contemporary linguistic theories, and present possible issues which may ensue from using artificial language-recognising systems.

  • Hybrid Monsters
    HYBRID MONSTERS IN THE CLASSICAL WORLD THE NATURE AND FUNCTION OF HYBRID MONSTERS IN GREEK MYTHOLOGY, LITERATURE AND ART by Liane Posthumus Thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Master of Philosophy in Ancient Cultures at the University of Stellenbosch Supervisor: Prof. J.C. Thom Co-supervisor: Dr. S. Thom Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences Department of Ancient Studies March 2011 Declaration By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the authorship owner thereof (unless to the extent explicitly otherwise stated) and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Date: 28 February 2011 Copyright © 2010 University of Stellenbosch All rights reserved i ABSTRACT The aim of this thesis is to explore the purpose of monster figures by investigating the relationship between these creatures and the cultures in which they are generated. It focuses specifically on the human-animal hybrid monsters in the mythology, literature and art of ancient Greece. It attempts to answer the question of the purpose of these monsters by looking specifically at the nature of man- horse monsters and the ways in which their dichotomous internal and external composition challenged the cultural taxonomy of ancient Greece. It also looks at the function of monsters in a ritual context and how the Theseus myth, as initiation myth, and the Minotaur, as hybrid monster, conforms to the expectations of ritual monsters. The investigation starts by considering the history and uses of the term “monster” in an attempt to arrive at a reasonable definition of monstrosity.
