Ninian Stephen Menzies Law Program

The Ninian Stephen Law Program: New Legal Thinking for Emerging Technologies is a four year initiative in partnership with Centre for AI and Digital Ethics (CAIDE). This important work aims to develop methodologies for lawyers to respond to challenges of new technologies.  

This work is premised on a model of systems thinking, commonly learnt by engineering and computer science students, that studies how people and human-artefacts interact; asserting that systems thinking can be used to test the limits and possibilities to regulation of technology.
