    Dec. 17, 2013 Mr. Larry Page, Chief Executive Officer Mr. Eric Schmidt, Chairman Google 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043 Dear Mr. Page and Mr. Schmidt, We are writing on behalf of Consumer Watchdog to call on you to take immediate action to police and clean up your social network, Google+, which in an apparent quest to grow the subscriber base as rapidly as possible has been allowed to become a virtual playground for online predators and explicit sexual content. Recent efforts to bolster Google+ include your decision to require that before a user can comment on a YouTube video they must have a Google+ account and allowing schools using Google Apps for Education to enable Google+ for students 13 and older. Turning a blind eye to the troubling privacy vulnerabilities on Google+ while encouraging greater use of the social network is simply unacceptable. Writing last month in the British newspaper The Daily Mail Chairman Eric Schmidt outlined steps that Google is taking to fight child pornography on the Internet. The article described how Google “in the last three months put more than 200 people to work developing new, state-of-the- art technology to tackle the problem.” Your effort to block Google Search from returning links to child sexual abuse material from appearing in your results is commendable. Shortly thereafter you cooperated in the arrest of a pedophile who was storing images on Picasa. However, there is a simple and more important step you must take if people are to believe you are genuinely concerned about combating this depravity.

    CAN GOOGLE BE TRUSTED? SHOULD GOOGLE BE TAKEN AT ITS WORD? IF SO, WHICH ONE? GOOGLE RECENTLY POSTED ABOUT “THE PRINCIPLES THAT HAVE GUIDED US FROM THE BEGINNING.” THE FIVE PRINCIPLES ARE: DO WHAT’S BEST FOR THE USER. PROVIDE THE MOST RELEVANT ANSWERS AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.

INTRODUCTION The Commission, in its Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), seeks to adopt rules that will help Internet users “protect their privacy.”2 This is a worthwhile and essential goal in a digital world dominated by the surreptitious – some say “creepy”3 – collection and monetization of personal information.4 Unfortunately, the Commission’s proposals are woefully inadequate vis‐à‐vis bolstering consumer privacy online because they do not reflect the actual contours of the modern digital world.

  • ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE What It Is and Legal Considerations for the Advertising Industry
    ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE What it is and Legal Considerations for the Advertising Industry By Lyric Kaplan Associate in the Privacy & Data Security Group Frankfurt, Kurnit, Klein & Selz I. Introduction Artificial intelligence (“AI”) is a twenty-first-century buzzword. It is as revolutionary and as disruptive as the internet in the 90s.1 It will enter every facet of our lives and livelihoods and dwarf any prior technologies impact on the modern world. AI has been part of the popular lexicon for over half a century and in people’s imaginations for far longer. AI began with Alan Turing, a man well before his time, known for developing a predecessor to the modern computer and helping Allied forces break German military codes during World War II.2 In 1950, his paper Computing Machinery and Intelligence questioned whether machines could think and whether machines could learn from experiences much like a child.3 To develop empirical evidence for this hypothesis, he developed the Turing Test which is similar to the imitation game. A Victorian-style competition where a human judge via computer chats with unknown interlocutors and determines which is the real person and which is the chatbot created to trick the judge.4 It was not until 2014 that a virtual 13-year-old boy named Eugene allegedly beat the Turing test.5 In 1956, John McCarthy at the Dartmouth Summer Research Project on Artificial Intelligence coined the phrase “artificial intelligence.” The historic conference brought top researchers together to discuss AI openly. Even though the conference failed to agree on standard methods for pursuing AI research, it was the catalyst that made many agree that AI was achievable.

When a police of+ cer comes along and wants to know what he’s doing, he says he’s looking for his keys. “You lost them here?” asks the cop. “No,” the seeker replies, “but this is where the light is.” This bromide about futility has lately taken on a whole new meaning as a meta phor for our increasingly enigmatic technologies.
