Gene Editing And The Rise Of Designer Babies, Tara R. Melillo
Gene Editing And The Rise Of Designer Babies, Tara R. Melillo
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
Nearly as long as human beings have existed on this earth, many people have sought out the ideal of perfecting their population: infanticide in Sparta during the Hellenistic era; compulsory sterilization in the 1920s in the United States; and the unimaginable atrocities of the Holocaust in the 1940s in Europe. The goal of alleged perfection leaves many hesitant to repeat the mistakes of our past. Today, a new frontier of science has emerged, gene editing using CRISPR-Cas9, reigniting ethical debate as to how far humans should go in manipulating the population. While many proponents herald this technology as a potential …

Reshaping Ability Grouping Through Big Data, Yoni H. Carmel, Tammy H. Ben-Shahar
Vanderbilt Journal of Entertainment & Technology Law
This Article examines whether incorporating data mining technologies in education can promote equality. Following many other spheres in life, big data technologies that include creating, collecting, and analyzing vast amounts of data about individuals are increasingly being used in schools. This process has already elicited widespread interest among scholars, parents, and the public at large. However, this attention has largely focused on aspects of student privacy and data protection and has overlooked the profound effects data mining may have on educational equality. This Article analyzes the effects of data mining on education equality by focusing on one educational practice--ability grouping--that …

Legal Education In The Blockchain Revolution, Mark Fenwick, Wulf A. Kaal, Erik P.M. Vermeulen
Vanderbilt Journal of Entertainment & Technology Law
The legal profession is one of the most disrupted sectors of the consulting industry today. The rise of Legal Technology, artificial intelligence, big data, machine learning, and, most importantly, blockchain technology is changing the practice of law. The sharing economy and platform companies challenge many of the traditional assumptions, doctrines, and concepts of law and governance--requiring litigators, judges, and regulators to adapt. Lawyers need to be equipped with the necessary skill sets to operate effectively in the new world of disruptive innovation in law. A more creative and innovative approach to educating lawyers for the twenty-first century is needed.
Federalism And Federalization On The Fintech Frontier, Brian Knight
Federalism And Federalization On The Fintech Frontier, Brian Knight
Vanderbilt Journal of Entertainment & Technology Law
The rise of financial technology (fintech) has the potential to provide better-quality financial services to more people. Although these enhanced financial services have arisen in order to meet consumer need, their regulatory status threatens that progress. Many fintech firms are regulated on a state-by-state basis even though their transactions are interstate, and they compete with firms that enjoy more consistent rules through federal preemption. This dynamic can harm efficiency, competitive equity, and political equity. This Article examines developments in marketplace lending, money transmission, and online sales of securities in an attempt to identify situations in which greater federalization of the …
Nudging Robots: Innovative Solutions To Regulate Artificial Intelligence, Michael Guihot, Anne F. Matthew, Nicolas P. Suzor
Nudging Robots: Innovative Solutions To Regulate Artificial Intelligence, Michael Guihot, Anne F. Matthew, Nicolas P. Suzor
Vanderbilt Journal of Entertainment & Technology Law
There is a pervading sense of unease that artificially intelligent machines will soon radically alter our lives in ways that are still unknown. Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) technology are developing at an extremely rapid rate as computational power continues to grow exponentially. Even if existential concerns about AI do not materialize, there are enough concrete examples of problems associated with current applications of AI to warrant concern about the level of control that exists over developments in this field. Some form of regulation is likely necessary to protect society from harm. However, advances in regulatory capacity have not kept …
Genome Editing And The Jurisprudence Of Scientific Empiricism, Paul Enriquez
Genome Editing And The Jurisprudence Of Scientific Empiricism, Paul Enriquez
Vanderbilt Journal of Entertainment & Technology Law
Humankind has reached, in tow by the hand of a scientific breakthrough called CRISPR, the Rubicon of precise genetic manipulation first envisioned over fifty years ago. Despite CRISPR's renown in science and its power to transform the world, it remains virtually unaddressed in legal scholarship. In the absence of on-point law, the scientific community has attempted to reach some consensus to preempt antagonistic regulation and prescribe subjective standards of use under the guise of a priori scientific empiricism. Significant and complex legal issues concerning this technology are emerging, and the void in legal scholarship is no longer tolerable.

Immigrant Families Behind Bars: Technology Setting Them Free, Jennifer Blasco
Immigrant Families Behind Bars: Technology Setting Them Free, Jennifer Blasco
Vanderbilt Journal of Entertainment & Technology Law
In July of 2015, Judge Dolly Gee from the US District Court for the Central District of California ordered that all immigrant women and children currently detained in a federal family detention facility be released immediately. She described the conditions of these detention centers as "deplorable" and stated that detention of these women and children directly violated the 1997 Flores Agreement. However, the practice of immigrant family detention remains alive and well in this country. Why? This Note provides an answer to this question and proposes a cost-effective and more efficient solution to the problem: electronic monitoring.
