Reference excerpt

Margot E. Kaminski is an American professor who works at the intersection of artificial intelligence, privacy, information governance, and online civil liberties. She is currently an Associate Professor at the University of Colorado Law School and the Director of Privacy Initiative at the Silicon Flatirons Center for Law, Technology, and Entrepreneurship. Her research examines the impacts of new technologies, including autonomous systems, on individual rights to help shape policy and regulation of AI. Prior to joining Colorado Law, Kaminski was a lecturer at Yale Law School, an Assistant Professor at the Ohio State University Moritz College of Law from 2014 to 2017, and had served as a law clerk to Andrew Kleinfeld, senior judge of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Kaminski was selected as one of the 100 Brilliant Women in AI Ethics in 2020.

Education Kaminski graduated magna cum laude with a B.A. from Harvard University in 2004, where she wrote for The Harvard Crimson. She graduated from Yale Law School in 2010. While at Yale, she co-founded the Media Freedom and Information Access Clinic and was a Knight Law and Media Scholar.

Career and research After graduation from Yale Law School, Kaminski clerked for Andrew Kleinfeld of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and served as the executive director of the Information Society Project at Yale Law School for three years. Then, she joined the Ohio State University Moritz College of Law as an Assistant Professor in 2014, specializing in privacy, intellectual property, and technology law. There, she was selected to serve as fellow of the DC Center for Democracy & Technology. Margot Kaminski is currently an associate professor at the University of Colorado Law School and Director of the Privacy Initiative at Silicon Flatirons. In 2019, Kaminski co-authored Algorithmic Impact Assessments under the GDPR with Giancludio Malgieri. The paper attempted to link the risks of profile algorithms, automated decision-making with the EU General Data Protection Regulation tools towards more accountability. Both presented their paper to the U.S. Senate. Her works have also been published in The New York Times, The Economist, and The Atlantic.

Selected awards and recognition 2016 - Featured in Lawfare's List of Female Technology Experts 2019 - Received 10th Annual Privacy Paper for Policymakers Award from the Future of Privacy Forum 2019 - Received Provost Faculty Achievement Award for AI, Data Privacy, and Human Decision-making 2020 - 100 Brilliant Women in AI Ethics Hall of Fame Honoree

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Margot Kaminski

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Margot Kaminski claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Margot Kaminski before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Margot Kaminski ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Margot Kaminski

In research: Margot Kaminski appears in astronomy research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Margot Kaminski in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Margot Kaminski is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics AI legal scholars, Artificial intelligence ethicists, Harvard University alumni, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Margot Kaminski outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
