How will law, regulation and ethics govern a future of fast-changing technologies? Bringing together cutting-edge authors from academia, legal practice and the technology industry, Future Law explores and leverages the power of human imagination in understanding, critiquing and improving the legal responses to technological change. It focuses on the practical difficulties of applying law, policy and ethical structures to emergent technologies both now and in the future. It covers crucial current issues such as big data ethics, ubiquitous surveillance and the Internet of Things, and disruptive technologies such as autonomous vehicles, DIY genetics and robot agents. By using examples from popular culture such as books, films, TV and Instagram – including ‘Black Mirror’, ‘Disney Princesses’, ‘Star Wars’, ‘Doctor Who’ and ‘Rick and Morty’ – it brings hypothetical examples to life. And it asks where law might go next and to regulate new-phase technology such as artificial intelligence, ‘smart homes’ and automated emotion recognition.
