Disruptive Technology and the Future of ‘Law’

Subscribe to Gray MattersSubscribe

On November 15, 2019, the Gray Center hosted a public policy conference on “Technology, Innovation, and Regulation.” For this conference, scholars wrote and presented papers on the way regulation affects technological innovation, and vice-versa. The Gray Center convened expert panels on topics including whether social media should be regulated for “neutrality,” “regulatory sandboxes” and other laboratories of democracy, artificial intelligence and the future of regulation, and disruptive technology and the future of “law,” during which the new research was discussed. Keynote remarks were given by Kate Lauer, an Advisor for Jiko and former Head of Global Regulatory Strategy for PayPal.

The fourth and final panel looked at disruptive technology and the future of “law.” It centered on two new papers, “Disruptive Deference for Disruptive Technology,” by Jennifer Huddleston, who was at the Mercatus Center at the time the conference was held, and “Will the ‘Legal Singularity’ Hollow Out Law’s Normative Core?” by Georgia State University College of Law’s Robert Weber. They were joined in discussion by Joshua Blackman of the South Texas College of Law Houston. The panel was moderated by Ross Davies, Professor of Law at George Mason University’s Antonin Scalia Law School. The papers and videos are available at: https://administrativestate.gmu.edu/events/technology-innovation-and-regulation/.

Featuring Joshua Blackman, Jennifer Huddleston, Robert Weber, and Ross Davies.
