    Artificial Intelligence, Economics, and Industrial Organization Hal Varian1 Nov 2017 Revised June 2018 Introduction Machine learning overview What can machine learning do? What factors are scarce? Important characteristics of data Data ownership and data access Decreasing marginal returns Structure of ML-using industries Machine learning and vertical integration Firm size and boundaries Pricing Price differentiation Returns to scale Supply side returns to scale Demand side returns to scale Learning by doing Algorithmic collusion Structure of ML-provision industries Pricing of ML services Policy questions Security Privacy 1 I am a full time employee of Google, LLC, a private company. I am also an emeritus professor at UC Berkeley. Carl Shapiro and I started drafting this chapter with the goal of producing a joint work. Unfortunately, Carl became very busy and had to drop out of the project. I am grateful to him for the time he was able to put in. I also would like to thank Judy Chevalier and the participants of the NBER Economics of AI conference in Toronto, Fall 2017. Explanations Summary References Introduction Machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) have been around for many years. However, in the last 5 years, remarkable progress has been made using multilayered neural networks in diverse areas such as image recognition, speech recognition, and machine translation. AI is a general purpose technology that is likely to impact many industries. In this chapter I consider how machine learning availability might affect the industrial organization of both firms that provide AI services and industries that adopt AI technology. My intent is not to ​ ​ ​ ​ provide an extensive overview of this rapidly-evolving area, but instead to provide a short summary of some of the forces at work and to describe some possible areas for future research.

  • Data Analytics: the Future of Legal JEREMIAH CHAN1
    International In-house Counsel Journal Vol. 9, No. 34, Winter 2016, 1 Data Analytics: The Future of Legal JEREMIAH CHAN1 Legal Director, Google Inc., USA & JAY YONAMINE Senior Data Scientist, Google Inc., USA & NIGEL HSU Head of Patent Operations, Verily Life Sciences LLC, USA INTRODUCTION During the 2002 season of Major League Baseball (MLB), the Oakland Athletics and New York Yankees both won an astounding 103 games, a feat only topped three times by any team in the last 24 years. Despite identical records, the New York Yankees payroll on opening day was $125,928,583 compared to only $39,679,746 for the Oakland Athletics. On a per win basis, the Oakland Athletics paid $385,240 per win compared to the New York Yankee’s $1,222,608. The New York Yankees were not an outlier. All other MLB teams (excluding Oakland) paid on average $853,252 per win in 2002. So how were the Oakland Athletics able to generate wins with over two to three times the cost efficiency of other teams in the league? By now, the answer has been well documented by Michael Lewis in the book and subsequent movie Moneyball, in which Lewis recounts how Oakland Athletics’ General Manager Billy Beane replaced traditional approaches to scouting and roster management with a rigorous use of data and statistical models. This is often referred to as “data analytics.” The quest for increased efficiency is certainly not unique to MLB. Be it a widget factory, technology company, or legal department, the desire to maximize the quality of outcomes while maintaining or reducing costs is ubiquitous.

  • Improving Google Patents with European Patent Office Patents And
    Improving Google Patents with European Patent Office patents and the Prior Art Finder Tuesday, August 14, 2012 at 10:23 AM ET Posted by Jon Orwant, Engineering Manager Cross-posted from the Google Research blog At Google, we're constantly trying to make important collections of information more useful to the world. Since 2006, we’ve let people discover, search, and read United States patents online. Starting this week, you can do the same for the millions of ideas that have been submitted to the European Patent Office, such as this one. [An example Moisture-tight edible film dispenser and method thereof EP 1692064 B1Abstract (text from WO2005051822A1]. Typically, patents are granted only if an invention is new and not obvious. To explain why an invention is new, inventors will usually cite prior art such as earlier patent applications or journal articles. Determining the novelty of a patent can be difficult, requiring a laborious search through many sources, and so we’ve built a Prior Art Finder to make this process easier. With a single click, it searches multiple sources for related content that existed at the time the patent was filed. From googlepublicpolicy.blogspot.com/2012/08/improving-google-patents-with-european.html 21 April 2013 Patent pages now feature a “Find prior art” button that instantly pulls together information relevant to the patent application. The Prior Art Finder identifies key phrases from the text of the patent, combines them into a search query, and displays relevant results from Google Patents, Google Scholar, Google Books, and the rest of the web.

  • Implications of the Google's US 8,996,429 B1 Patent in Cloud
    DOI: 10.5772/intechopen.70279 Provisional chapter Chapter 8 Implications of the Google’s US 8,996,429 B1 Patent in ImplicationsCloud Robotics-Based of the Google’s Therapeutic US 8,996,429 Researches B1 Patent in Cloud Robotics-Based Therapeutic Researches Eduard Fosch Villaronga and Jordi Albo-Canals Eduard Fosch Villaronga and Jordi Albo-Canals Additional information is available at the end of the chapter Additional information is available at the end of the chapter http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/intechopen.70279 Abstract Intended for being informative to both legal and engineer communities, this chapter raises awareness on the implications of recent patents in the field of human-robot interaction (HRI) studies. Google patented the use of cloud robotics to create robot personality(-ies). The broad claims of the patent could hamper many HRI research projects in the field. One of the possible frustrated research lines is related to robotic therapies because the person- alization of the robot accelerates the process of engagement, which is extremely beneficial for robotic cognitive therapies. This chapter presents, therefore, the scientific examina- tion, description, and comparison of the Tufts University CEEO project “Data Analysis and Collection through Robotic Companions and LEGO® Engineering with Children on the Autism Spectrum project” and the US 8,996,429 B1 Patent on the Methods and Systems for Robot Personality Development of Google. Some remarks on ethical implica- tions of the patent will close the chapter and open the discussion to both communities. Keywords: cognitive therapeutic robots, cloud robotics, Google patent, personality, personalization, ASD research, ethical implications 1.
