Everyone Wants To See The Entire History Of You, Caesar Kalinowski Iv
Washington Journal of Law, Technology & Arts
Starting with heavy, immobile cameras and progressing to immediately shareable, discreet cellphone videos, the last century has expanded our ability to record ourselves and others—whenever and wherever—to formerly unfathomable heights. Black Mirror, a technology-based, sci-fi miniseries now produced by digital entertainment giant, Netflix, tracks this trajectory to its logical end in “The Entire History of You.” In this not-so-distant, sci-fi future where Google Glass is replaced by an “Augmented Reality Contact Lens and Grain,” everything we see and hear is immediately recorded and uploaded. Effectively, we no longer need memories to recall the past. But as with all new technologies, …

As technology continues to evolve, interactions between humans and artificial intelligence (“AI”) will skyrocket.

Machine learning services ingest customer data in order to provide refined, customized services. Machine learning algorithms are increasingly prominent in multiple sectors within the software-as-a-service industry including online advertising, health diagnostics, and travel. However, very little has been written on the rights a company utilizing machine learning needs to obtain in order to use customer data to improve its own products or services.

The State Department Can Gun Down 3-D Printed Firearms, Derk Westermeyer
Washington Journal of Law, Technology & Arts
In 1976, Congress enacted the Arms Export Control Act (“AECA”), giving the President broad power to control imports and exports of defense articles. At the time, defense articles included any “technical data” relating to weapons, such as the manufacturing blueprints of a firearm. Generally, this technical data was only in the hands of weapon manufacturers. After forty years of technological advances, however, this “technical data” can now be accessed by anyone in the world in a matter of seconds. Thanks to 3-D printing, a person can use this data to personally manufacture a fully functional plastic weapon within a few …
