Neurotech and the future of law - Allan McCay, Futurati Podcast

What does privacy mean in a world where it's possible to detect lying from a brain scan? How should we understand ownership when a group creates a product by directly linking their minds together over an interface? Could an AI have rights? These fascinating questions lie at the intersection of emerging neurotechnologies and law. Luckily, so does our guest this week, Dr. Allan McCay. Allan is Deputy Director of The Sydney Institute of Criminology and an Academic Fellow at the University of Sydney's Law School. He coordinates the Legal Research units at the Sydney Law School, and lectures in Criminal Law.
