How can you design an ethical robot lawyer? What regulations are needed for flying taxis? These are some of the questions the British government is hoping to answer with a new £10m fund for futuristic projects that pose significant challenges to existing rules and regulations. The business secretary, Greg Clark, said the regulators' pioneer fund, being awarded to 15 projects, would help regulators "unblock" innovation that might otherwise be hampered by red tape. Clark said the move would show that Britain had a flexible regulatory environment which could keep pace with technology.

This paper presents thirteen datasets for binary, multiclass and multilabel classification based on the European Court of Human Rights judgments since its creation. The interest of such datasets is explained through the prism of the researcher, the data scientist, the citizen and the legal practitioner. Contrarily to many datasets, the creation process, from the collection of raw data to the feature transformation, is provided under the form of a collection of fully automated and open-source scripts. It ensures reproducibility and a high level of confidence in the processed data which is some of the most important issues in data governance nowadays.

Is this the party to whom I am speaking?

Venio Systems, the fastest growing eDiscovery technology provider, is excited to announce the availability of VenioOne Continuous Active Learning (CAL) in its latest release of VenioOne. After months of testing and incorporating feedback from our partners, as well as a hands on workshop for clients and partners held during ILTACON, VenioOne CAL is ready! VenioOne CAL is available to be added in the VenioOne platform for a one-time annual fee with no additional per document or gigabyte charges. While traditional technology assisted review (TAR) has been around for at least a decade, CAL, or TAR 2.0 as it is sometimes called, has only been around for the last several years and gotten serious attention in the last couple. At a time when the legal community is focused on the potential for artificial intelligence (AI) in the practice of law, the time for CAL to boost the speed of document reviews has finally arrived.

In the U.S., corporations have been given rights of free speech and religion. Some natural features also have person-like rights. A new argument has laid a path for artificial intelligence systems to be recognized as people too – without any legislation, court rulings or other revisions to existing law. Legal scholar Shawn Bayer has shown that anyone can confer legal personhood on a computer system, by putting it in control of a limited liability corporation in the U.S. If that maneuver is upheld in courts, artificial intelligence systems would be able to own property, sue, hire lawyers and enjoy freedom of speech and other protections under the law. In my view, human rights and dignity would suffer as a result.

The reason is that it gets a lot of attention already in other venues, whereas the issue of productivity, data and management is bereft of a home. That said, if the roundtable form evolves past the initial three sessions, jobs will be the next topic to take on.

Data is the real capital that's driving the new digital economy. Just consider any successful social media platform or consumer web service: these companies may be short on facilities and capital equipment, but they're rich in intellectual property, thanks to their ability to slice and dice their proprietary reserves of data capital for competitive advantage. Established companies can see similar opportunities, but only if they learn to unlock the full value of their information reserves. Insights into new business opportunities remain hidden because internal data consumers want new combinations of data and analyses not found in standard reports and dashboards. This is the unseen data that's hiding inside every company. How can enterprises bring data capital out of hiding?

With each passing year, the CISO's job is not becoming any easier. As companies continue embracing the Digital Transformation, the growing complexity and openness of their IT infrastructures mean that the attack surface for hackers and malicious insiders is increasing as well. Combined with the recent political developments such as the rise of state-sponsored attacks, new surveillance laws, and harsh privacy regulations, security professionals now have way too many things on their hands that sometimes keep them awake at night. Should you invest in CEO fraud protection or work harder to prepare for a media fallout after a data breach? The skills gap problem is often discussed by the press, but the journalists usually focus more on the lack of IT experts which are needed to operate complex and sprawling cybersecurity infrastructures.
