The chapter outlines the broader context of the transformation of education in a digital age; describes the importance of computer code in a legal context, particularly in terms of the on-going disruption of the legal profession; and, introduces the main features of the course and its initial reception. The main argument is to suggest that the lawyers of the future will be transaction engineers managing the responsible deployment of new technologies and the design of a new global architecture, and that to perform this function effectively, legal professionals need to develop a number of new skills and capacities, including an understanding of the basic concepts and power of coding..

27. Mark Fenwick, Erik P.M. Vermeulen, The lawyer of the future as “transaction engineer”
Digital technologies and the disruption of the legal profession, Perspectives in Law, Business and Innovation, 10.1007/978-981-13-6086-2_10, 253-272, 2019.01, This chapter introduces two connected arguments about the future of the legal profession. First, the ongoing “digital revolution” will continue to disrupt legal work as it has traditionally operated. Various aspects of this disruption are outlined. Second, in contrast to previous technological revolutions, the “deployment” of disruptive innovation in the context of the digital revolution seems unlikely to be primarily “state-led.” Instead, new technologies will be deployed by a coalition of diverse private actors (entrepreneurs, technologists, consultants, and other professionals) working in collaboration. Crucial amongst these actors will be the lawyer of the future operating as “transaction engineer.” The chapter outlines this transaction engineer function and its importance in the deployment of emerging digital technologies..

In order to be fully successful, this paper suggests that the UN should go back to business fundamentals and should attempt to build from the ground up based on the real world needs of entrepreneurs, rather than work off already existing corporate legal systems. In this way, it is possible to engage in a more imaginative form of regulatory design in which a clear, open and preferential legal framework for stimulating innovation and business creation can be developed..

Technological advances & normative dilemmas, Perspectives in Law, Business and Innovation, 10.1007/978-981-13-2874-9_1, 1-13, 2018.04, Computer science, robotics and AI have all developed rapidly in recent years, bringing profound changes to all aspects of human life. However, the emergence and proliferation of these new technologies has not occurred within the bounds of traditional organizational, ethical and regulatory systems. We have reached an inflection point, where we need to pursue new business models and normative frameworks to underpin these fast-developing technologies. This introductory chapter briefly maps the evolution of these different technologies and argues for a new, more forward-oriented approach to the business and normative challenges that are created. The discussion ends with a review of the chapters that comprise this volume..

33. Mark Fenwick, Erik P.M. Vermeulen, Marcelo Corrales, Business and regulatory responses to artificial intelligence
Dynamic regulation, innovation ecosystems and the strategic management of disruptive technology, Perspectives in Law, Business and Innovation, 10.1007/978-981-13-2874-9_4, 81-103, 2018.01, Identifying and then implementing an effective response to disruptive new AI technologies is enormously challenging for any business looking to integrate AI into their operations, as well as regulators looking to leverage AI-related innovation as a mechanism for achieving regional economic growth. These business and regulatory challenges are particularly significant given the broad reach of AI, as well as the multiple uncertainties surrounding such technologies and their future development and effects. This chapter identifies two promising strategies for meeting the “AI challenge,” focusing on the example of Fintech. First, “dynamic regulation,” in the form of regulatory sandboxes and other regulatory approaches that aim to provide a space for responsible AI-related innovation. An empirical study provides preliminary evidence to suggest that jurisdictions that adopt a more “proactive” approach to Fintech regulation can attract greater investment. The second strategy relates to so-called “innovation ecosystems.” It is argued that such ecosystems are most effective when they afford opportunities for creative partnerships between well-established corporations and AI-focused startups and that this aspect of a successful innovation ecosystem is often overlooked in the existing discussion. The chapter suggests that these two strategies are interconnected, in that greater investment is an important element in both fostering and signaling a well-functioning innovation ecosystem and that a well-functioning ecosystem will, in turn, attract more funding. The resulting synergies between these strategies can, therefore, provide a jurisdiction with a competitive edge in becoming a regional hub for AI-related activity..

Strategies for regulating new technologies, Perspectives in Law, Business and Innovation, 10.1007/978-981-13-1080-5_6, 153-174, 2018.01, In an age of constant, complex and disruptive technological innovation, knowing what, when, and how to structure regulatory interventions has become much more difficult. Regulators can find themselves in a situation where they believe they must opt for either reckless action (regulation without sufficient facts) or paralysis (doing nothing). Inevitably in such a situation, caution tends to trump risk. But such caution merely functions to reinforce the status quo and the result is that new technologies may struggle to reach the market in a timely or efficient manner. The solution? Law-making and regulatory design needs to become more proactive, dynamic and responsive. So how can regulators actually achieve these goals? What can they do to promote innovation and offer better opportunities to people wanting to build a new business around a disruptive technology or simply enjoy the benefits of a disruptive new technology as a consumer? The chapter focuses on three possible strategies for ‘regulation tomorrow’..

The main impetus for this research has been the perceived uniqueness of Japan. Japan achieved the transition from the feudal dictatorship of the Tokugawa family to a highly affluent, secularised, post-industrial society in a little over a century without thekind of rapid increase in crime rates found in other countries. As such, Japan is one of the rare examples (often mentioned alongside Switzerland) of a society that has avoided the modernisation-crime nexus that has often been identified bycriminologists (Shelly 1981). Accounting for this 'anomaly' (Archer and Gartner 1981) - examining the reasons why Japan has enjoyed such low levels of officially recorded crime in spite of undergoing a period of profound and rapid social change - has interested criminologists in search of a better understanding of the causes of crime and more effective formsof crime control..
