data securityOf all the interviews I conducted at the ABA Annual Meeting, this one was certainly the most geeky. Before it’s all over, there’s a discussion of Pokémon Go (a Niantic board member is one of my guests), 2001: A Space Odyssey, and Isaac Asimov. That a discussion supposedly about law enforcement and national security could go down those rabbit holes is a testament to the role technology plays in the emerging legal landscape.

And stay tuned for a fascinating discussion of algorithmic racism.

Harvey Rishikof, chair of the Advisory Committee for the American Bar Association Standing Committee on Law and National Security; Marc Rotenberg, president and executive director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC); and, Gilman Louie, partner at Alsop Louie Partners and the founder and former CEO of In-Q-Tel, convey their incredible depth of knowledge on technology and security in this informative talk.
