A new issue of Law, Technology and Humans has been published.
Volume 6(3) includes a collection of symposium articles from Law as Data, Data as Law. Guest editors Rónán Kennedy (University of Galway) and Brian Barry (Trinity College Dublin) provide analysis from multiple disciplinary perspectives on the latest international developments in data-driven approaches to law, and its impacts on legal practice, education and systems. These contributions build on the scholarly momentum investigating changes that emerged during and in the immediate wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. They highlight the importance of methodological rigour and cross-disciplinary work to coherently conceptualise and evaluate in data-driven approaches to law.
This issue also contains a variety of topics related to contemporary issues in law and technology. From Canada, Jane Ezirigwe, Jeremy De Beer, Chidi Oguamanam examine how power manifests in the generation and use of agri-food data, how power could construct global rules on the use of agri-food data and how the global community should respond. Célia Matias discusses the recent explosion of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) and using digital art as an example, considers the interplay of copyright and seeks to devise pathways, within and outside copyright, to address the challenges posed to creators by GenAI. Richard Pate and Claudio Schapsis detail free speech and the case for regulating online reviews of professional services in the US. From the UK, Cemre Kadioglu Kumtepe and Stephen Riley examine the uses to which ‘dignity’ is put in regulating and conceptualising our digital era. It considers the example of Europe, and particularly the European Union’s uses of dignity in policy-making and regulatory innovation in the digital context.
And finally, Rilwan Mahmoud reviews Electronic Evidence and Electronic Signatures by Stephen Mason and Daniel Seng.
