Sadev Parikh

Sadev Parikh studies remedies for entrenched technology platforms, including the question of what courts and regulators should do once dominance is established, and how to design interventions that contest concentrated power rather than supervise it. His research examines evaluation standards applied to artificial intelligence and definitional power over contested concepts such as “open,” asking who fixes the meanings on which digital markets and democratic culture run, especially in conditions of diminished state capacity.

He is a Visiting Fellow in the Information Society Project at Yale Law School and a Visiting Associate Professor of Law and Privacy and Technology Law Fellow at the George Washington University Law School. Before entering academia, he served as a Trial Attorney in the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice, where he litigated cases including United States v. Google (Ad Tech) and United States v. Apple.

He has also pursued a more democratic digital economy through research on cooperativism and ownership with the Institute for the Cooperative Digital Economy and the Berkman Klein Center, as a Democracy Innovation Fund awardee at Harvard, and as a co-founder of the Relational Technology Project. He previously led projects mapping emerging technology markets at Quid and coordinated neuroscience and open-science research at Stanford. He holds a J.D. from Georgetown University Law Center, an M.P.A. from the Harvard Kennedy School, and an A.B. magna cum laude from Cornell University, where he studied philosophy and government as a College Scholar.
