"For Fusion’s Real Future Fair last week, we decided to cast our gaze into the future of law, coming up with hypothetical legal cases based on the assumed evolution of current technologies to talk about liability when robots break the law, copyright issues when they write their own masterpieces, and criminal consequences of algorithms that kill. We asked three legal experts—Northeastern University law professor Andrea Matwyshyn; Robot, Robot, & Hwang’s Tim Hwang, and Electronic Frontier Foundation copyright activism director Parker Higgins—to debate how the cases would be resolved under current law, or how our laws need to evolve to handle the cases."
