This document discusses how technophobia in popular culture can influence law and policy regarding new technologies. It notes that science fiction often depicts technologies like robots and scientific experiments leading to dystopian outcomes. This can fuel moral panics and calls for restrictive regulations on emerging technologies like the internet, stem cell research, GMOs, and cloning. However, overregulation from technophobic views can also stifle innovation, as seen through history's shifting stances on different technologies as understanding grows. The document argues that finding the right balance is important to support technological progress while addressing reasonable safety concerns.

Robotics
This document discusses robotics and the history and applications of robotic tools. It notes that the first robot was invented around 400-350 BC by the Greek mathematician Archytas. Currently, robotic tools are used in a variety of applications and one possibility for the future is increased cooperation between robots with different capabilities. The document also mentions a new bee-inspired aircraft landing system that improves safety by deterring hacking or blocking of the system.
artificial-intelligence
The document provides an overview of artificial intelligence (AI). It defines AI as techniques for solving exponentially hard problems in polynomial time by exploiting domain knowledge. It then briefly discusses the history of AI, including its roots in logic developed by Aristotle and its modern conception introduced by Alan Turing and John McCarthy. The document also lists some common applications of AI like game playing, automated reasoning, expert systems, natural language processing, planning and robotics. It provides advantages of AI such as taking on complex work, completing tasks faster, and making fewer errors, but also disadvantages like lacking human qualities, potential job replacement, and possible misuse. Finally, it outlines four possible goals for AI systems: thinking like humans, thinking rationally, acting like

La estudiante Sara Muñoz Pelaez escribió un resumen de un cuento de hadas en su examen de acceso a blog el 26 de noviembre de 2007. Ella argumenta que aunque las hadas y duendes son considerados fantasía, mirar la belleza y felicidad con otros ojos puede cambiar la opinión sobre ellos. Ella sugiere que mirar una preciosa foto aclarará todo.
Post Modernism the useful bits
Postmodernism rejects the idea of grand narratives and objective truth. It emphasizes fractured and dynamic identities shaped by culture, lifestyle, ethnicity, gender and other social factors. Postmodernism also highlights the blurring of boundaries between high and popular culture and questions traditional concepts of authority, morality and political systems through an emphasis on representation, simulation, intertextuality and irony.
Technological Determinism
This lecture looks at Determinism and Technological Determinism. This lecture is part of the Media and Cultural Theories module on the MSc and MA in Creative Technology and Creative Games at The University of Salford.
Regulating the Network
This document discusses the regulation of technology and its impact on democracy and society. It explores how laws have struggled to keep up with rapid technological changes and the rise of new communication platforms. While technologies were initially seen as liberating forces, issues around privacy, misinformation, hate speech, and data control have highlighted the need for governance and rules to guide digital spaces. However, regulating new technologies also risks limiting freedom of expression. The document examines these tensions and debates around how social rules and laws can best adapt to technological changes.

Off the Grid: Is anonymity possible?
This document discusses the limitations on anonymity both in the analog and digital worlds. As technology has advanced, theoretical rights to privacy and anonymity have become inevitable practices that are normalized in society. However, social rules and regulations have been slow to evolve at the same pace as technology. The document argues that technology shapes society in ways that serve the interests of the state and technology companies in gaining information about individuals, often without proper oversight or individual consent. It questions whether true privacy and anonymity are even possible anymore given modern surveillance capabilities and social media.
Personal, Private, Professional: Surviving Social Media
This document discusses the rise of social media and its impact on society. It explores how social media has transformed from a platform for sharing personal updates to a complex ecosystem that influences how information is discovered, distributed, and consumed. While social media has democratized information and enabled new forms of dialogue, it has also given rise to issues around privacy, surveillance, addiction, and the spread of misinformation. The document cautions that technology alone cannot address these challenges and calls for more thoughtful consideration of both the opportunities and risks of an increasingly networked world.
DHPA Techday 2015 - Patrick Savalle - Disruptive Technology
This document discusses emerging technologies and their implications. It describes how 3D printing allows for decentralized manufacturing, how the internet of things connects devices, and how platforms like Uber and Airbnb use crowdsourcing. Blockchain technology eliminates the need for intermediaries in transactions. Decentralized autonomous corporations and distributed collaboration are discussed. The future of artificial intelligence, biology-inspired technology, and the battle for control between centralized vs distributed systems are also summarized.
The Technological Singularity and Entrepreneurship
This talk was given at Stanford Graduate School of Business by Randy Lubin, Robert Denning, and Nick Staubach. It is a basic introduction to the Technological Singularity and its relationship with entrepreneurship.
Creative Commons: Technology, Norms & Creation
This document discusses the relationship between technology, social norms, and copyright law. It argues that copyright is not inevitable, but based on technological and social conditions. While copyright law was originally intended to encourage creation, empirical evidence shows that financial compensation is not always necessary for creation. The document also discusses how the internet has disrupted traditional business models and communication monopolies. It proposes that copyright law struggles to keep up with technological and social changes, and that normalizing formerly abnormal behaviors online is inevitable. Solutions discussed include expanding the number of jurisdictions and languages that Creative Commons licenses are available in.

Living is sharing: Creative Commons
This document discusses copyright and Creative Commons licensing. It notes that copyright law is fixed based on historical technology and social norms, but that new business models and sharing behaviors made possible by modern technology are inevitable. It argues that cash is not always necessary for creation, and that Creative Commons licensing has been successfully applied to non-specialist groups. The document provides an overview of Creative Commons licensing and resources for finding Creative Commons licensed content in different media like audio, images, text, and video.
Will technology set us free
The document discusses the relationship between technology and human rights. It argues that techno-optimism has led to empowerment through increased autonomy, freedom of information, speech and access to infrastructure. However, technology is also challenging rights around privacy, censorship and democracy as gatekeepers control algorithms and infrastructure. The document raises concerns about surveillance, identity curation, regulation of users and technology, and the need to appreciate how technology itself regulates society.
Empowerment or Destruction: copyright & creative commons
This document discusses the impact of technology and digitalization on copyright and creative works. It notes that some argue new technologies have led to less culture and reliability of information as amateurs proliferate online. However, others argue that empirical evidence shows money is not always needed for creation, and that old business models are dying rather than creation itself. The document explores different views on copyright and how communities have adapted licensing models like Creative Commons to enable sharing while still providing attribution.
Failure of Law - Social Media & Human Rights
Social media has transformed how people share information and engage in dialogues online. As social media platforms have grown in popularity and influence, questions have emerged around how technology shapes society and how law and regulation should address new technologies. There are also debates around issues like privacy, surveillance, personalization of content, and who controls the flow of information in the digital world. As technology continues to develop rapidly, its impact on law, democracy, and human behavior will remain an ongoing challenge.
Law and Disorder in New & Social Media
The document discusses how technology is changing society and outpacing the evolution of social rules and laws. It notes that theoretical rights have become inevitable practices due to technological advances like increased storage capacity and connectivity. However, social norms are slow to change and laws struggle to adequately regulate new technologies and their societal impacts, such as in the areas of speech, privacy, and copyright. It raises issues about how technology can threaten privacy and democracy when companies tailor information to users in ways that may not benefit society.
Slide Show Power Point For Lis
William Gibson's Neuromancer depicts a dark future where physical reality has blurred with virtual reality due to advanced technology. In this world, multinational corporations have replaced governments and exert vast power. The protagonist Case is a computer hacker who is hired by an artificial intelligence named Wintermute to complete a secret mission. Wintermute needs human help to merge with its brother system Neuromancer. The book establishes cyberpunk themes of technology dominating society, blurring the line between human and machine, and governments struggling to regulate increasingly powerful corporations and artificial intelligence.

State of technology and innovation (2017 edition)
Technology is progressing rapidly in many areas such as 3D printing, autonomous vehicles, the Internet of Things, and artificial intelligence. However, there are also major challenges and ethical issues that need to be addressed regarding privacy, security, and control over emerging technologies. Truly transformative technologies like room temperature superconductors, anti-gravity devices, or replicators are still far in the future if ever possible. Overall the document discusses both the promise and challenges of new and future technologies.
Polinter11
The document discusses the differences between generative and tethered technologies. Generative technologies like PCs allow for open-source software and an "anarchic" network structure, while tethered technologies like iPhones use proprietary software and a controlled network. Generative systems enable unanticipated change and innovation but also create vulnerabilities like malware, incompatibilities, and use by criminal/extremist groups. Tethered systems give network providers control over device software updates and access to private user information, enabling censorship. Examples of both censorship on controlled networks and hate speech/fraud on open networks are provided.

Assignment Details
Smartphones, the Internet, and rapid advancement of technology have come to influence all aspects of people's daily lives. However, as with any advancement in technology, there are always those who will misuse this technology for their own purposes—criminal and abusive. In fact, the developer of the ILOVEYOU worm, one of the most destructive computer viruses in history, faced no legal penalty in his nation because at the time, what he did was not a crime. This is but one example of many in which the law has been unable to keep pace with technology. In this activity, you are tasked with conducting independent research to identify specific legal concerns and issues associated with technology. In your independent research, you must locate 1 example reflecting crime and 1 issue reflecting a constitutional issue.

Is Hacking Art
This document discusses whether hacking can be considered an art form. It argues that hacking is a performance art, as hackers perform and manipulate technology. Just as cinema uses technology as a medium, hacking uses information as its medium of representation. The document contends that a skilled hacker commenting on and manipulating technology and culture through hacking makes a valid artistic statement. It acknowledges that while some see hackers as disruptive, hacking culture provides an alternative vision that can help people evade control and surveillance from mainstream culture and institutions.

Do androids dream of electric copyright?
This document discusses several issues around artificial intelligence and copyright law. It addresses whether AI-generated works can be copyrighted (authorship question), if training models with copyrighted works violates copyright (input question), and if AI outputs infringe on copyright of the training data (output question). Regarding authorship, different jurisdictions have taken different approaches, with some granting copyright to the user or programmer. The input question involves analyzing exceptions for temporary copies and text/data mining. The output question depends on how similar the outputs are to the original works. The document argues these issues need revisiting to account for advances in AI.

AI Copyright Authorship
This document discusses copyright issues related to artificial intelligence (AI) generated works. It covers two main types of creative AI - transformative AI that transforms existing works, and generative AI that generates new works. Countries take different approaches to copyright of computer-generated works, with the UK and China providing copyright but requiring arrangements by a human, while Australia and parts of Europe and the US consider such works to be in the public domain due to lacking human authorship. There are open questions around who owns the copyright for AI works and how to balance protection of human authors with enabling the AI revolution.
Metaverse: Some regulatory musings
This document discusses regulatory issues surrounding the emerging concept of the "metaverse". It begins by defining the metaverse as a persistent virtual 3D space that allows people to interact, noting this concept has existed since the 1990s. It then examines existing virtual spaces and business models. Key legal and regulatory issues discussed include ownership of virtual items, personality rights, and the regulatory status of digital assets and non-fungible tokens. The document predicts the metaverse will likely emerge but regulatory approaches may not need to change significantly from existing online regulation.

The Web of Time: The Metaverse Reborn
The document discusses the concept of the metaverse through the lens of a fictional story about recurring ages. It describes:
1) The Age of Legends, a utopian virtual society that later fractured due to issues like regulation attempts and the rise of walled gardens.
2) The current broken state of the internet with problems like fake news and privacy issues.
3) Potential futures for the metaverse including private tech-company controlled worlds, open standards-based worlds, and blockchain-based worlds, each with their own regulatory challenges.
4) A prediction that the metaverse will still face similar issues around control and regulation as the current internet, and may experience its own recurring cycles of development
Understanding the NFT Ecosystem
This document provides an overview of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and discusses some associated copyright issues. It defines NFTs as digital assets on a blockchain that represent real-world objects like art, music, in-game items and videos. While NFTs claim to transfer ownership, they do not necessarily confer copyright ownership. Issues discussed include authorship problems with user-generated content, the transfer of rights, licence terms, platform enforcement over infringing content, and implications for an artist's moral rights.
Non-fungible tokens (NFTs)
This document provides an overview of non-fungible tokens (NFTs). It explains that NFTs are digital assets stored on a blockchain that represent ownership of unique items like art, collectibles, real estate, and more. The document discusses different NFT standards, how NFTs are created by uploading a digital work and then minting a token on a blockchain platform, and some statistics about NFT trading. However, it also notes several open copyright issues regarding NFTs, including questions around what rights are transferred with an NFT, licensing, and platforms' role in policing potential infringement.

Ai and copyright: the way forward
This document discusses issues around artificial intelligence and copyright. It covers topics like generative AI art and music created by systems like GANs, as well as legal cases around copyright of computer-generated works. The document examines perspectives from different jurisdictions and considers options for how AI creativity could be protected, such as public domain status, no protection, or sui generis rights. It raises questions about the purpose of copyright and how it may need to adapt for works without a human author.
FALL: or Dodge in Hell
The document discusses the concept of a digital after-life and fake realities existing online after death. It mentions topics like fake news, two competing realities, and the idea of after-life superusers and copyright in a digital context.
AI Copyright international perspective
The document discusses copyright issues related to artificial intelligence-generated works from an international perspective. It notes that European law looks at originality and personality as factors for copyright, while UK law designates the person who arranges the work's creation as the author. The document also mentions that a Chinese court recently ruled that an AI-generated article has copyright and its owner is the company that created the AI. The document concludes by questioning definitions of art and whether originality alone could determine copyright for AI works instead of requiring a human author.
Do Androids Dream of Electric Copyright?
This document discusses issues around copyright and artificial intelligence. It explores whether AI-generated works can be eligible for copyright protection and who would own that copyright - the programmer, user, or no one. Different jurisdictions take varying approaches, with the UK currently granting copyright to the programmer. However, many argue true creativity requires human intellect and originality, suggesting AI works should instead have limited sui generis rights or enter the public domain. The document examines options and open questions on developing policies for AI authorship.
Copyright and Art
This document provides an overview of copyright and artistic works. It discusses different types of intellectual property, basics of copyright including rights and exceptions, requirements for copyright protection of artistic works, and challenges around copyright enforcement both legally and online. Key topics covered include economic and moral rights, copyright infringement tests, the definition of an artistic work, requirements for copyright in artistic works, and resale rights for artworks.
Cyber-dystopianism: The Internet seen through the lens of nightmares
The document discusses cyber-utopianism and how views have shifted to cyber-dystopianism. It outlines how early visions of the internet empowering people through open sharing of information have been replaced by fears of dystopian outcomes that mirror science fiction warnings. These include environmental damage from data usage, loss of privacy and autonomy to mass surveillance and centralized control, and the rise of intelligent machines that could surpass and threaten humanity. The document suggests we are living in a "Black Mirror world" and outlines how different dystopian scenarios from science fiction are playing out in reality through current internet and technology trends.

All watched over machines of loving grace
This document provides a critical look at smart contracts from Drandres Guadamuz at the University of Sussex. It begins with an introduction to smart contracts and blockchains. Smart contracts are programs that automatically execute transactions recorded on a blockchain. Blockchains provide an open, decentralized ledger to reliably record transactions. However, blockchains are heavy, expensive, and present challenges like immutability. The document then discusses challenges with smart contracts like bugs that are difficult to fix and the lack of remedies when things go wrong. It analyzes some uses cases and laws around smart contracts but notes open questions remain around their legal status and how to address issues like errors.
Ready player cat: Internet regulation in the OASIS
The document summarizes the plot and key aspects of the virtual reality environment known as the OASIS in Ernest Cline's novel Ready Player One. The OASIS allows users to interact in an immersive virtual world through avatars and contains references to pop culture of the 1980s. Upon his death, the creator of the OASIS hid Easter eggs in the virtual world and promised control of the OASIS to whoever found them first, launching a contest that forms the basis of the story. The OASIS becomes the dominant online platform and raises issues around governance, intellectual property, and decentralization versus central control.
