Technology makes the world go around. If we didn’t know that before the pandemic, we know that now. Everything is connected, with billions of mobile phones, computers, wearables, medical devices, vehicles, buildings, process control devices, drones, consumer/business products, and other “smart” objects wirelessly connecting to and communicating with each other (the “Internet of Things” or IoT) … and generating massive amounts of data. Artificial intelligence (AI) feeds on this and other data to train machines how to make decisions and learn, emulating the human mind. At the same time, robots are being used for tasks that are repetitive, hazardous, or require consistent precision. Every industry and area of law are being affected, with both IoT and AI/robotics raising unprecedented legal and liability issues. IoT and AI have changed and will continue to change the world – the future is now.
This fast-paced and stimulating panel will provide appetizer-size coverage of hot IoT and AI/robotics law topics everyone needs to know, regardless of practice area. Moderator Ruth Bro will kick off the discussion with a brief overview, leading to two fascinating and substantive fireside discussions:
· Fireside chat #1 on IoT: With two members of SciTech’s IoT National Institute planning committee who also co-edited SciTech’s IoT book (The Internet of Things: Legal Issues, Policy, and Practical Strategies, 2019): Lucy Thomson and Chris Suarez.
· Fireside chat #2 on AI/Robotics: With two members of SciTech’s AI and Robotics National Institute planning committee: Steve Wu (conference chair) and Ted Claypoole (editor of the ABA book called The Law of Artificial Intelligence and Smart Machines: Understanding A.I. and the Legal Impact, 2019).
Speakers:
Theodore F. Claypoole, Partner, Womble Bond Dickinson LLP
Christopher A. Suarez, Associate, Steptoe & Johnson LLP
Lucy L. Thomson, Founding Principal, Livingston PLLC
Stephen Wu, Shareholder, Silicon Valley Law Group

Neuroscience usually draws the spotlight in criminal proceedings where video now appears in 80% of cases. From cell phones to police body cameras, today’s courts increasingly use video as evidence. Yet U.S. courts, from state and federal all the way to the Supreme Court, lack clear rules and standards on how video can be used and presented as evidence. The underlying assumption is that video evidence need not be governed by unified standards because seeing is believing—that is, what we see is the truth. Our belief that what we see in a video is an unmediated reality may lead to inconsistent and unsafe renderings of justice.
Join us for a taste of how recent court developments and research in visual communication and neuroscience are transforming how we think about visual evidence, culpability, responsibility and intent and get a peek into a terrific line up of programs coming this fall.
Speakers:
Roderick Kennedy, Retired Judge, New Mexico Court of Appeals
