Join us, on February 15, from 14:30-15:30, for the second IP21 talk: "From Digital Rights Management to Peer to Peer Law" by Melanie Dulong de Rosnay, PhD in law and associate research professor at French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS).
Abstract:
Melanie Dulong de Rosnay will present a regulatory model for information sharing based on the mutual influence between law and code.
Instead of encoding binary rules into digital golems, the devices and algorithms that govern our lives and make decisions based on data and traces we leave on networks, platforms and connected objects, she proposes to integrate legal and political values into code, and, in the other way around, to export the computer science architecture and values of peer to peer into the law.
