| This symposium will bring together leading scholars, practitioners, and policymakers to examine the rise of surveillance-driven pricing and wages—practices that use data to set individualized prices for consumers and adjust pay rates for workers. By exploring questions of fairness, discrimination, competition, privacy, and regulation, the event aims to shape how law and policy respond to one of the most urgent issues in today’s economy.
