about this room
Edinburgh Law School launches the second edition of Law, Policy and the Internet (Hart/Bloomsbury) with a panel on where tech regulation is heading.
All three editors speak: Dr Lachlan Urquhart, Senior Lecturer in Technology Law and Human-Computer Interaction at Edinburgh; Emerita Professor Lilian Edwards of Newcastle University, currently a visiting scholar at Edinburgh; and Dr Catalina Goanta of Utrecht University, plus some of the contributors. On the table: the state of AI governance, digital sovereignty, dealing with an increasingly unreal world, what nobody expected in 2026 and what 2036 might look like. Wine reception after.
Free, 15:00 to 17:00 in the Usha Kasera Lecture Theatre at Old College.
the book's 14 chapters cover AI, platforms, adtech, data protection, chatbots and the gig economy, and its editors are among the sharpest tech-law voices around. Good use of an afternoon for founders, product and policy people who want a read on the regulation heading their way.
