A new issue of Law, Technology and Humans has been published.
Volume 7(1) includes a collection of symposium articles from Narratives, Frontier Technologies, and the Law. Guest Editors Henrique Marcos and Syamsuriatina binti Ishak (Maastricht University, The Netherlands) have brought together a collection of articles that discuss how narratives influence the governance of frontier technologies such as artificial intelligence, quantum computing, bioprinting, and neurotechnology.
This issue also contains a variety of topics related to contemporary issues in law and technology. From the UK, Joshua Krook examines how algorithms, and the movement towards a curated life, narrows of the user experience, limiting personal growth and the variety of content to which users are exposed. Tools for tracing, targeting and identifying terrorist suspects are the focus of Tasniem Anwar and Klaudia Klonowska’s article which addresses concerns about traditional legal reasoning based on strict categories and straightforward solutions. They argue that legal approaches need to be better attuned to the complex associations that produce terrorist suspects in these security and counter-terrorism spaces. And finally, Kieran Tranter and Timothy Peters call for more “nuanced and sophisticated research assessment measures” in relation to existing bibliometric measures around legal research.
