- Sep 1012:00 PMHacking the Human: Why Behavior Matters in Tech PolicyBuilding: Cabot Intercultural Center City: Medford, MA 02155 Campus: Medford/Somerville campus Location Details: Cabot 205 Open to Public: Yes Link: https://forms.office.com/r/itqHhNjuC0 Around the world, governments are moving aggressively to shape the digital sphere. Lawmakers and regulators, including in the United States, are intervening in core areas of expression, commerce and online infrastructure. Yet policy debates often overlook a crucial obstacle: the enforcement gap created by human behavior, rather than legal or technical shortcomings. Drawing on examples from AI, data privacy and platform regulation, this talk examines how behavioral dynamics, such as user adoption, compliance incentives and institutional capacity, can undermine or advance policy goals. Guest speaker Aileen Nielsen is a Visiting Assistant Professor at Harvard Law School, where she teaches privacy law and torts. Her research focuses on the interplay of law and technology, drawing on empirical methods and private law topics. She holds degrees in anthropology, physics, and law. She has written two trade books on machine learning and has also worked in industry as a data scientist. She is a member of the New York bar. Jointly sponsored by the Cyber Security and Public Policy Program and the Hitachi Center for Technology and International Affairs.
