DESCRIPTION:Governing Technology: Questions\, Agent Models\, and Impact\n\n
 Regulations governing computation impose requirements on the design of syst
 ems. These regulations are\, at their best\, designed to achieve policy goa
 ls in society. Both design projects depend on a crucial third term: theorie
 s about technology’s social and economic context. In this talk\, I will cha
 rt how interdisciplinary collaborations focused on ambitious questions have
  identified where new social theory is needed to effectively govern technol
 ogy. To build this theory\, I work with paradigms of agent modeling drawn f
 rom sociology\, epidemiology\, computer science\, and economics to formulat
 e system requirements and simulate the outcomes of regulation. This approac
 h drives the engineering of new tools that draw on recent advances in both 
 scientific computing and the social sciences. This technology\, guided by q
 uestions of regulatory salience\, is poised for impact.\n\n \n\nSpeaker Bio
 \n\nSebastian Benthall is a Senior Research Fellow at New York University S
 chool of Law\, where he leads NSF-funded research into the use of agent-bas
 ed modeling for software accountability and regulatory design. He is also a
  Research Engineer for Econ-ARK\, an open source economic modeling library\
 , fiscally sponsored by NumFOCUS. He holds a PhD in Information Management 
 and Systems from UC Berkeley and a B.A. in Cognitive Science from Brown Uni
 versity.
