As they digitize managerial judgment\, these evaluations risk imposing be nefits and burdens in opaque and unaccountable ways. Information access ri ghts guaranteed via data protection law can assist those who have been tre ated unfairly—but only if they are clarified and enforced well. \n\nAs div erse agencies interpret and apply data access rights\, they face a growing backlash from critics\, who emphasize the costs of compliance and minimiz e estimated benefits. This backlash may prematurely limit the scope of acc ess rights by convincing regulators to interpret relevant statutes too nar rowly. To avoid that outcome\, policymakers should recognize the full rang e of benefits of rights to information access\, bearing in mind their soci al and long-term benefits.  \n\nTo help ensure they do so\, this talk make s three main contributions. First\, it demonstrates the wide range of harm s that may occur when access to one’s personal data (and meaningful inform ation about its use) is denied. Second\, it surveys key access rights desi gned to ameliorate the harms caused by inaccurate and inappropriate data\, showing how contestable their definition now is. Third\, it sets forth el ements for a policy evaluation framework to inform the proper level and sc ope of information access\, as regulators clarify the contours of such rig hts. The result is a richer framework for policy evaluation of governmenta l regulation of corporations’ evaluations of persons. \n\n-- NB Prof. Pasq uale’s paper on this topic can be made available to any participant  \n\nA bout the speaker: \n\nFrank Pasquale is an expert on the law of AI\, algor ithms\, and machine learning. He is Forchelli Professor of Law at Brooklyn Law School\, an Affiliate Fellow at Yale University's Information Society Project\, and a member of the American Law Institute. He is co-editor-in- chief of the Journal of Cross-Disciplinary Research in Computational Law ( CRCL)\, based in the Netherlands\, and a Partner Investigator of the Austr alian Research Council (ARC) Centre of Excellence on Automated Decision-Ma king & Society (ADM+S). His book The Black Box Society: The Secret Algorit hms That Control Money and Information (Harvard University Press 2015) has been recognized as a landmark study on the law and political economy of i nformation. His New Laws of Robotics: Defending Human Expertise in the Age of AI (Harvard University Press 2020) rethinks the political economy of a utomation\, to promote human capacities as the irreplaceable center of an inclusive economy. \n\nAI and the Law Series \n\nThe AI and the Law Series is hosted by the Montreal Cyberjustice Laboratory\, and the Private Justi ce and the Rule of Law Research Group.
