Autonomous Systems and Their Policy, Law, and Governance Implications
Autonomous Systems Policy Initiative, a new Syracuse University-wide effort, is convening faculty and students across disciplines, along with industry experts from the public, private, and non-profit sectors to explore the technology, policy, and wider social implications of autonomous systems.
From self-driving
cars to drone delivery systems, from robotic underwater vessels to smart-home
technologies, autonomous systems are transforming our world—posing complex
social, ethical, and legal questions that demand interdisciplinary,
multi-faceted research.

O’Keefe Talks About the Need for Civil Service System Reform in Washington Post Article
“We think the current civil service system is badly in need of reform. But the blueprints offered by both left and right are problematic. One side is firmly rooted in a status quo that (inadvertently or otherwise) impedes accountability, and the other could end up politicizing the very civil servants who should be politically neutral,” writes University Professor Sean O'Keefe and his co-authors.

Benanav Speaks With the Washington Post About the Four-Day Workweek
Some of what Americans want today—better work/life balance and stronger community—can be found in what former President Richard Nixon proposed long ago, says Aaron Benanav, assistant professor of sociology. And, he adds, he was fairly progressive on economic issues by today’s standards.

Benanav Speaks With Vox About the Politics of Leisure Time
In the glory days of the American labor movement, when unions were strong and wages rose alongside productivity, “organized workers could cash that out as more free time,” says Aaron Benanav, assistant professor of sociology. “But for decades, workers haven’t even been getting that choice because, for the most part, productivity growth has ended up as higher profits and more inequality.”

Benanav Talks to CNBC About AI and the Future of Work
“I think about academics having to write grants all the time,” says Aaron Benanav, assistant professor of sociology, as an example. Those can be formulaic and would take far less time with the help of a machine. In programming, it’s helping engineers “write up basic outlines of code or sometimes like whole sections of code,” he says.
