TechLaw ChatSurveillance tech and nosey neighboursAs increasingly sophisticated video and audio recording devices become available to householders at only moderate cost, deployment of such surveillance tech by householders is becoming ubiquitous. However, those deploying these devices do not always consider the impact of their surveillance tech on neighbouring properties or the legal ramifications of that impact. This episode explores this theme, and considers the causes of action and practical steps available to a neighbour adversely affected by overly intrusive surveillance tech. References:For a couple of illustrative cases that have reached the Courts, see Fairhurst v Woodard [2021] 10 WLUK 151 and Woolley & Woolley v...2022-02-1608 minTechLaw ChatChild safety on a video-sharing platformAs of now, the UK has not enacted online harms legislation, and social media platforms in general are under no statutory duty to protect children from harmful content. However, providers of video-sharing platforms do have statutory obligations in that regard, set out in Part 4B of the Communications Act 2003 (added to the Act by amendment in 2020). Amongst other things, section 368Z1 of the Act requires providers of such platforms to make appropriate measures to protect under-18s from videos and audio-visual commercial communications containing "restricted material". Regardless of the statutory obligations (or lack thereof in the case of non-video...2022-01-1108 minTechLaw ChatKris Proposes Drone DeliveryThis end-of-year episode explores the viability of delivery of Christmas gifts by drone in UK airspace. Someone has ambitious plans involving the precision drop of parcels down chimneys. We discuss the legal risks that arise and the hurdles that will have to be jumped if the Civil Aviation Authority is to authorise that plan.Further reading:The primary guidance document for those wishing to operate unmanned aircraft systems within the UK is CAP722.

Reversing the decision of the Court of Appeal and reinstating the first instance decision of Warby J, the Supreme Court held that Richard Lloyd could not pursue a damages claim as representative of the class of individuals affected by Google's alleged breach of the Data Protection Act 1998 in relation to the so-called "safari workaround". The reasoning is involved, and the Judgment bears reading in full. In essence, however, the court held that establishing a right to damages for breach of the Data Protection Act 1998...2021-11-1108 minTechLaw ChatThe Emperor's New Tokens?Non-fungible tokens (or 'NFTs') are a blockchain-based mechanism for uniquely identifying digital assets, and verifying both authenticity and ownership. An increasingly popular use case for NFTs (albeit it is only one of several use cases) involves the creation and sale of digital art. Notwithstanding that the NFT marketplace for digital art is dynamic and growing (with some NFTs selling at auction for vast sums), the legal basis of NFTs and, critically, the nature of what a purchaser actually acquires when purchasing an NFT artwork, are not universally understood. We explore these issues in this episode, which concerns the purchase...2021-07-2908 minTechLaw ChatKeeping it ethicalAI companies need to engage with the ethical implications of their systems. That involves planning ahead: in this episode, we therefore look at the European Union’s proposed AI regulation, and – with the help of our guest, Patricia Shaw – discuss its application in an EdTech context. The proposed regulation is available here.Patricia Shaw is CEO of Beyond Reach Consulting Ltd, providing AI/data ethics strategy, public policy engagement, bespoke AI/data ethics risk and governance advice, and advisory board services, across financial services, public sector (Health- and EdTech), and smart cities. Trish is passi...2021-07-0809 minTechLaw ChatAt the AI's discretionWhere a contract confers a discretion on one party that materially affects the rights of its counterparty, the discretion must be exercised rationally. The Supreme Court held in Braganza v BP Shipping Ltd [2015] UKSC 17 that exercising a discretion rationally involves (i) taking the right things (and only the right things) into account, and (ii) avoiding a decision that no reasonable decision-maker could have reached. In this episode, we explore how those principles might operate in the context of a discretion exercised automatically by a machine learning algorithm. We do so in the context of a fraud detection algorithm and a...2021-04-0708 minTechLaw ChatComputer says "Go!"Fully autonomous vehicles may be a few years away, but cars offering so-called “eyes off/hands off”, or “Level 3” automation, whereby the car is sufficiently capable that the driver’s role is limited to taking over control when requested by the car to do so, is expected to be commercially available in the very near future. In this episode we flash forward to summer 2023 and an accident involving a Level 3 autonomous vehicle. We consider how existing legal frameworks cope with the liability issues that arise when AI takes control of the driving but where the driver remains in the safety cha...2021-03-1809 minTechLaw ChatThe Black Box problemAI can improve how businesses make decisions. But how does a business explain the rationale behind AI decisions to its customers? In this episode, we explore this issue through the scenario of a bank that uses AI to evaluate loan applications and needs to be able to explain to customers why an application may have been rejected. We do so with the help of Andrew Burgess, founder of Greenhouse Intelligence (andrew@thegreenhouse.ai). About Andrew: He has worked as an advisor to C-level executives in Technology and Sourcing for the past 25 years. He is considered a...2021-02-0509 minTechLaw ChatTrack it with a Smart Contract?This podcast explores the benefits and limitations of Smart Contracts in the context of human-provided services by considering the practicalities of using Smart Contracts to regulate the contractual relationship between brands and social media influencers.
