Along the Regulatory Frontier: New Issues and Emerging Technologies

How does regulation account for new issues and emerging technologies? This has always been a conundrum for lawmakers, agency officials, and the judiciary as well. In this course, we will consider this question by focusing on “frontier” subjects of regulation: artificial intelligence and machine learning; drug policy (including cannabis, psychedelics, & opioids); public health emergencies stemming from novel viruses, such as Covid-19; and new ways of creating more access to justice and furnishing legal services, including by non-lawyers. In considering these rapidly-evolving topics, we will explore how existing institutions and doctrines can be adapted to meet new demands and what other tools and techniques must be developed to meet upcoming challenges along the regulatory frontier.
