Brain-Computer-Interfacing & Respondeat Superior: Algorithmic Decisions, Manipulation, And Accountability In Armed Conflict, Salahudin Ali
Brain-Computer-Interfacing & Respondeat Superior: Algorithmic Decisions, Manipulation, And Accountability In Armed Conflict, Salahudin Ali
Catholic University Journal of Law and Technology
This article examines the impact that brain-computer-interfacing platforms will have on the international law of armed conflict’s respondeat superior legal regime. Major Ali argues that the connection between the human brain and this nascent technology’s underlying technology of artificial intelligence and machine learning will serve as a disruptor to the traditional mental prerequisites required to impart culpability and liability on commanders for actions of their troops. Anticipating that BCI will become increasingly ubiquitous, Major Ali’s article offers frameworks for solution to BCI’s disruptive potential to the internal law of armed conflict.
Seeing (Platforms) Like A State: Digital Legibility And Lessons For Platform Governance, Neil Chilson
Seeing (Platforms) Like A State: Digital Legibility And Lessons For Platform Governance, Neil Chilson
Catholic University Journal of Law and Technology
The growing backlash against Big Tech companies is a symptom of digital technology increasing the world’s legibility. James C. Scott’s book, Seeing Like a State: How Certain Schemes to Improve the Human Condition Have Failed, explores how past governments responded to increased legibility – for good and for ill. This article shows how Scott’s historical lessons can guide governments and tech platforms as they seek to improve the human condition online.
Innovative Thinking: Modernizing Outer Space Governance, Diane M. Janosek
Innovative Thinking: Modernizing Outer Space Governance, Diane M. Janosek
Catholic University Journal of Law and Technology
Space security is essential to global safety and prosperity. International treaties should modernize and reflect the world’s innovation in space and governance needs. One must look back to 1967 for the inaugural “Outer Space Treaty,” the first and only binding multilateral agreement for peaceful space use and exploration. In 50 years, technologies and space capabilities have evolved; an updated global treaty and agreement should be developed and evaluated. Both China and Russia have demonstrated their capability to degrade and/or destroy adversaries’ satellites in space. Space wars are no longer a hypothetical. The future once discussed and anxiously anticipated after Sputnik …
No Ifs, Ands, Or Juuls About It: Why Influencers Must Be Held Accountable, Krystina Dorta
No Ifs, Ands, Or Juuls About It: Why Influencers Must Be Held Accountable, Krystina Dorta
Catholic University Journal of Law and Technology
This article analyzes how the FTC’s Endorsement Guide regulating the advertising of e-cigarette products should be applied to social media influencers. The struggle to regulate e-cigarettes by the FDA and the FTC has led to different advertising methods, which either comply with or neglect the FTC’s Endorsement Guide. This article evaluates the federal government’s reaction to the e-cigarette health crisis, followed by a review of the FTC’s previous actions addressing Endorsement Guide violations, along with the consequences on other companies’ marketing strategies. Finally, this article reviews influencer liability standards for Endorsement Guide violations and develops recommendations to improve those standards.
To Innovate Or Regulate: How To Regulate Cloud Service Providers Within Financial Institutions, Morgan Willard
To Innovate Or Regulate: How To Regulate Cloud Service Providers Within Financial Institutions, Morgan Willard
Catholic University Journal of Law and Technology
The purpose of this article is to analyze whether cloud service providers should be considered Systemically Important Financial Market Utilities (SIFMU), subjecting them to increased oversight. It also considers the risks and benefits associated with the use of the technology by financial institutions, as well as potential alternatives. Overall, this article argues that cloud service providers do not fall under the current SIFMU framework, and any regulation of the technology should strive to strike a balance between innovation and safe regulation.
"Gunba Control" The Constitutionality Of Semi-Automatic Robotic Weapons, Steve P. Szymanski
"Gunba Control" The Constitutionality Of Semi-Automatic Robotic Weapons, Steve P. Szymanski
Catholic University Journal of Law and Technology
This piece examines how the Second Amendment, and its recent jurisprudential standards would apply to foreseeable semi-autonomous weapons in the private sector. Following an analysis of the landmark Supreme Court decision in District of Columbia v. Heller and its progeny, the work forecasts how the rules would apply to a home defense drone designed to defend at the exterior of a domicile, an armed “digi-dog” designed for self-defense in public, and an armed robot (“Gunba”) designed to operate entirely within one’s domicile. Ultimately, it concludes that an semi-autonomous robot, designed for in-home use, could conceivably receive Second Amendment protection.
What's In Your Box? Removing The Tiffany Standard Of Knowledge In Online Marketplaces, Hayley Dunn
What's In Your Box? Removing The Tiffany Standard Of Knowledge In Online Marketplaces, Hayley Dunn
Catholic University Journal of Law and Technology
Online shopping is a quintessential component of modern life. Millions of products from trusted brands are conveniently available at single-stop online marketplaces such as Amazon, eBay, and Alibaba with the click of a button from the comfort of home. But is the product delivered to the consumer’s front door actually the same as the one found on a store shelf? Pervasive trademark infringement in online marketplaces makes the answer to this question difficult, that is, until the consumer experiences negative consequences from a counterfeited product.
Under Tiffany (NJ) Inc. v. eBay, Inc., online marketplaces face almost no liability …
Sounds Of Science: Copyright Infringement In Ai Music Generator Outputs, Eric Sunray
Sounds Of Science: Copyright Infringement In Ai Music Generator Outputs, Eric Sunray
Catholic University Journal of Law and Technology
The music business is no stranger to disruptive technology. The industry’s apparent comeback from the devastating downturn caused by illegal file sharing seems to have arrived just in time for what may be an even more disruptive technological phenomenon: artificial intelligence (“AI”). Much has been said about the implications of AI-generated music, ranging from issues of ownership, to rights of publicity. However, there has been surprisingly little discussion of infringement in the AI systems’ outputs. By examining the functionality of AI music generators through the lens of de minimis use case law, this paper will explain how the outputs of …
The Fsia And Cyberspace: Could Hact Be The Answer?, Ritika Malkani
The Fsia And Cyberspace: Could Hact Be The Answer?, Ritika Malkani
Catholic University Journal of Law and Technology
Under the non-commercial tort exception to the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act (FSIA), a tort committed by a foreign state must occur wholly within the United States in order to trigger jurisdiction and liability in an American court. As such, cybercrimes which are committed abroad, even if targeted at and cause harm to U.S. citizens, fall outside this exception, leaving injured parties with no domestic avenue of redress. Potential solutions to closing this gap in the legal framework include the proposed Homeland and Cyber Threat Act (HACT), expansion of the FSIA's terrorism exception, or overruling the entire tort doctrine.
You Can't Trust Everything On The Internet: A Look Into Texas' And Maryland's Approach Of Social Media Authentication, Danielle Orr
You Can't Trust Everything On The Internet: A Look Into Texas' And Maryland's Approach Of Social Media Authentication, Danielle Orr
Catholic University Journal of Law and Technology
If unauthenticated evidence is admitted into the court's record, and makes a defendant’s charge more probable, that defendant’s Fifth and Fourteenth Amendment rights to life and liberty have been violated. Social media evidence, due to the ease of hacking and catfishing, can be unreliable, thus Maryland and Texas have led the way, with two respective approaches, on how to handle such evidence. Maryland, with its proscribed three authentication methods, has a less trusting view of social media, and realizes the dangers wrongfully entered evidence may have on a defendant’s due process. Alternatively, Texas has not heighten scrutiny on social media …
Hybrid Ip Rights For Software, Apis, And Guis: Understanding Copyright's Paradigm Shift, Howard Skaist
Hybrid Ip Rights For Software, Apis, And Guis: Understanding Copyright's Paradigm Shift, Howard Skaist
Catholic University Journal of Law and Technology
The non-literal scope of protection for software is intricate legally and is intricate technical. Thus, despite literally decades of court decisions and a mountain of legal scholar written on the subject in that time, it appears that there is still no consistent agreement about it, as evidenced by the Google v. Oracle which has percolated in the courts for nearly a decade and is now being heard by the US Supreme Court (oral argument was on October 7, 2020). However, the thesis of this article that a legal construct is capable of being formulated that is analytically consistent and that …

"Times They Are A Changin'" - Can The Ad Tech Industry Survive In A Privacy Conscious World?, Meaghan Donahue
Catholic University Journal of Law and Technology
The "ad tech ecosystem" is a web of interconnected technologies and intermediaries that facilitate targeted advertising based on consumer data, and supports the free internet while providing users with promotional content relevant to their interests. However, in recent years, lawmakers and consumer advocates have highlighted the dangers associated with the unregulated use of consumer data for advertising purposes, prompting a flurry of legislative action at both the state and federal levels. These various laws and proposed bills impose new challenges on the ad tech industry--threatening to fundamentally change the way the business operates. However, through innovation and creative thinking, the …
