Musings and “Favorite Ideas and Other Things” On Behavioral and Complexity
Economics And Legal and Regulatory Regimes In Digital Space and the Post-COVID World
Presentation by Derek Ireland
The presentation will explore, discuss, and share views and perspectives on four major, interrelated, and overlapping themes and challenges for the current and future digital economy:
1) The complexity of the post-COVID recovery period for national, multi-country regional and the global economy.
2) With artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), deep learning (DL) and large language models (LLMs) in digital space adding yet another layer of complexity to the global economy.
3) The illegal, antisocial, corrupt, and non-compliant decision errors of digital firms and other more complex regulated entities in digital markets
4) And the more frequent, costly and consequential decision errors of government authorities and regulators and non-state regulators.
The presentation will employ a more “open dialogue and shared learning” format whereby participants will be able to ask questions, make comments, add their perspectives, discussion, and correct the presenter after 3-4 slides. The presenter as well will only make personal comments on each slide, and therefore will allow enough time for participants to read the slide if they wish.
