Jason Kroll spoke at The Fifth HOPE about the incentive structures used to influence people and the incentives faced by institutions in their struggle to control technology through legal means. Here he is speaking about the sense of alienation that stems from the undisguised corruption behind the IP property grab and how it conflicts with our sense of social responsibility. Both presentations were inspired by research into the economics of science (BA in economics from the University of Washington at Seattle) and the computational complexity of economic problems (MS in computer science at Tufts).
