The Year of the Woman, Part II
The 2018 midterm election is being acknowledged as The Year of the Woman, Part II; a reference to the 1992 election that saw women running in record numbers following Justice Thomas' Supreme Court confirmation. But 1992, which resulted in four female senators heading to D.C., has nothing on 2018. The midterm elections saw a 75% increase in women of color Congressional nominees since 2012, sustained by over 400 Black women who ran for office at every level, and a record number of Native American women candidates, among others. WLSA invites you to take a moment to celebrate the record-breaking number of women elected to Congress (over 100!) with candy, an Instagram photo-op (follow @dukelawwlsa), and a brainstorming session about how to keep the momentum going and improve election results in 2020. Stop by Star Commons from 12:30-2:00. Sponsored by WLSA. For more information please contact Sam Abrams-Widdicombe at asa57@duke.edu.

AI: Risks & Responses - A Head-to-Head Risk Discussion
The Duke Center on Risk in Science & Society is sponsoring a series of "Head-to-Head" talks to explore the value of considering complex, contemporary risks from multiple perspectives. In this session we address AI: Risks & Responses. The rapid development of artificial intelligence promises to have huge societal impacts. It could help to solve multiple challenges in health care and disease, energy and climate change, data analysis, and poverty, in addition to changing the consumer experience. At the same time there are potentially profoundly negative ramifications of AI and its effects on the power of the surveillance state, democratic processes, employment and worker displacement, and indeed the very nature of what it means to be human. What are risks of AI and how do we respond? We'll have a moderated discussion with two scholars at Duke to think about these issues: Vincent Conitzer, Kimberly J. Jenkins University Professor of New Technologies and Professor of Computer Science, Professor of Economics, and Professor of Philosophy and Walter Sinnott-Armstrong, Chauncey Stillman Professor of Practical Ethics in the Department of Philosophy, and the Kenan Institute for Ethics.

The Legal Frameworks of Work After the End of Employment
This symposium will explore how the law of work does or should respond to the changing shape of work relationships in the contemporary economy. Three major phenomena will be explored. First: As the platform economy enables millions to provide services through an entity that disclaims any legal responsibility for the conditions of employment, how should law respond? Second: How should labor or employment law address the rapid spread of automation, which in the most futuristic sense threaten or promise to eliminate work? Third: global migrations of peoples and capital in a regulatory frame that renders migrant workers extremely vulnerable and aggregated capital apparently invincible, have generated historically unprecedented levels of inequality while political forces have galvanized nationalist backlash against some of the most vulnerable workers. What soft-law or hard law regulatory frameworks are developing to empower workers? Sponsored by Law & Contemporary Problems. For more information, please contact Will Sowers at wps9@duke.edu.
