We continue to live in an age of excitement and disruption in the interface of law and information technology. Privacy of our data and the most intimate aspects of our lives captured by these technologies presents the law with particular challenges.
- The use of social media to send chilling messages of hate, harassment and offense continues to conflict with its role as a place for uncensored public debate.
- Wearable technology has created new forms of social interaction that both liberate and enslave.
- Robots now intervene in more and more tasks previously undertaken by humans, such as driving and policing. How should the law respond?
- #GWLD seeks to critically unwrap the manner in which the law has been co-opted into the information and technology age and the new forms of social and legal space that it has created.
