Our legal thinking still runs on Roman categories: “persons” vs “things.”

AI systems like ChatGPT don’t fit neatly into either box, and that has real ethical and legal consequences for how we design, regulate, and relate to machines.

Even the Supreme Court is getting into the 'undo' button game! They're taking on the case of former FTC Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter, whose controversial firing is under scrutiny.

Turns out, independent agencies are supposed to be, well, independent. This has major implications for how tech giants might be regulated.

What are your thoughts on the balance of power in tech oversight?

I’m truly grateful my article "Too Cute to Be a Crime? AI-Generated Lolita Aesthetics and the Legal Limits of Synthetic Girlhood on TikTok" has been published in the International Journal for Crime, Law and AI.

I hope that this will be a small step towards understanding how technology reshapes law and culture.

Big news for those following law and regulation of social media algorithms. NY state is about to ban recommendation algorithms for kids:

“The Stop Addictive Feeds Exploitation (SAFE) for Kids act will prohibit social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram from serving content to users under the age of 18 based on recommendation algorithms, meaning that, instead, social media companies will have to provide reverse-chronological feeds for child users.”

Time for a belated #introduction:

I’m a second-year PhD candidate at University College London, thinking about how international law (esp patents) structure the creation and distribution of technology in international society, and how to reimagine that law for the climate crisis. Living in East London, born on Barngarla land (rural South Australia). Currently also teaching property law, reading critical work on land justice and legal pedagogy.
