Covid-19 Vaccines And Their Pitfalls In Informed Consent, Yousef Haik, Eleni Polymenopoulou
Covid-19 Vaccines And Their Pitfalls In Informed Consent, Yousef Haik, Eleni Polymenopoulou
UC Law Science and Technology Journal
The World Health Organization declared the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic as a global health crisis. The search for a coronavirus vaccine escalated to a global competition. Drugs for other diseases as well as new formulations are proposed as potential candidates for the treatment or intervention of coronavirus. Almost all pharmaceutically able countries are pursuing potential vaccines. At the time of writing this article, two vaccines are already marketed and tested with promising interim results. Both vaccines use messenger RNA (mRNA) encapsulated in a lipid nanocarrier. Under ordinary circumstances, clinical trial authorizations oblige sponsors to disclose all risks to volunteers in order …
Towards Optimal Liability For Artificial Intelligence: Lessons From The European Union’S Proposals Of 2020, Stefan Heiss
Towards Optimal Liability For Artificial Intelligence: Lessons From The European Union’S Proposals Of 2020, Stefan Heiss
UC Law Science and Technology Journal
Are the E.U.’s proposals on artificial intelligence (AI) a major breakthrough or just a mere token of an initial liability regime? Several initiatives have been released in 2020 to shape Europe’s digital future to the next level, whereas the U.S. leadership program is hesitant to regulate AI. However, the recent E.U. proposals by introducing strict liability or implementing a certification procedure are a first approximation of what is needed rather than an adoptable bill. Based on the lessons learned from the E.U. a scheme of liability is outlined, which strengthens the trajectory of AI’s development in the long-term solely when …
Super Mario Decompiled, Joseph Godfrey
Super Mario Decompiled, Joseph Godfrey
UC Law Science and Technology Journal
Super Mario 64 was a video game released to critical acclaim in 1996. 24 years later, a group of dedicated fans reverse engineered the game and released reconstructed source code publicly on GitHub. Soon afterwards, an unofficial PC version of the game began circulating the internet. The decompilation project presents an opportunity to examine the legal status of reverse engineering under US Copyright law, and whether publicly releasing reverse engineered code is a fair use.

Katz And Covid-19 How A Pandemic Changed The Reasonable Expectation Of Privacy, Wayne Unger
UC Law Science and Technology Journal
COVID-19 spread to 189 countries and infected tens of millions of people in the matter of months. Organizations, including governments and employers, turned to health surveillance technologies to slow the spread and combat the disease. Protected health information and personal information are required for the proper and effective functioning of the health surveillance technologies. The collection, use, and dissemination of protected health and personal information raised data privacy and security concerns. But under the current data privacy and security regime—based on the reasonable expectation of privacy standard—protected health and personal information is not protected to the extent that it needs …
The Antitrust Impact Of Venture Capital Firms On Concentration In The Technology Sector, Bushra Samimi
The Antitrust Impact Of Venture Capital Firms On Concentration In The Technology Sector, Bushra Samimi
UC Law Science and Technology Journal
Technology plays a significant and crucial role in the current global economy. It impacts consumer welfare, the job market, economic progress, and the emergence of innovative technology. Due to the fact that the technology sector provides necessary and critical services, technology companies exercise immense power over consumers who rely on their products. The rising concentration in the technology sector magnifies the potential anticompetitive forces at play. This article argues that venture capital financing leads to anticompetitive effects in the technology industry. Although most startups intend to eventually go public through an initial public offering (“IPO”), the liquidity pressures from venture …

Applied Artificial Intelligence In Modern Warfare And National Security Policy, Brian Seamus Haney
UC Law Science and Technology Journal
Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications in modern warfare have revolutionized national security power dynamics between the United States, China, Russia, and the private industry. The United States has fallen behind in military technologies and is now at the mercy of big technology companies to maintain peace. After committing $150 billion toward the goal of becoming the AI technology world leader, China claimed success in 2018. In 2019, Chinese researchers published open-source code for AI missile systems controlled by deep reinforcement learning algorithms. Further, Russia’s continued interference in United States’ elections has largely been driven by AI applications in cybersecurity. Yet, despite …

Can A Distant Relative Allow The Government Access To Your Dna? The Fourth Amendment Implications Of Law Enforcement’S Genealogical Search For The Golden State Killer And Other Genetic Genealogy Investigations, George M. Dery Iii
UC Law Science and Technology Journal
This Article considers the advent of genetic genealogy, used by law enforcement in capturing the Golden State Killer suspect and in other cold cases. In these investigations, police used genetic information obtained from the open source genealogy site, GEDmatch, to build vast family trees spanning the entire country and several generations in order to locate suspects whose DNA matched that left at a crime scene. This Article analyzes the Fourth Amendment implications of government use of such powerful technology to explore such sensitive information as DNA. The conclusion the Supreme Court could reach, should it be called upon to examine …
The Internet Adopts Two-Way Radio, Henry H. Perritt Jr.
The Internet Adopts Two-Way Radio, Henry H. Perritt Jr.
UC Law Science and Technology Journal
The Internet, having displaced conventional correspondence with email, having displaced traditional libraries with online ones, having revolutionized shopping, having uprooted television and movies, now is absorbing police, fire, ambulance, and public utility two-radio systems.
Digital radio technologies combine with Internet switching of transmitters, receivers, and networks, so that a police officer can talk to an ambulance driver or a train dispatcher across the state or across the country. Specialized cellphones are becoming indistinguishable from walkie-talkies. Cellular telephone channels replace two-way-radio air links.
Integration of “private mobile radio” into the Internet is the result of specific advances in radio and networking …
Defusing A Ticking Time Bomb: The Complicated Considerations Underlying Compulsory Human Genetic Editing, Grant Hayes Frazier
Defusing A Ticking Time Bomb: The Complicated Considerations Underlying Compulsory Human Genetic Editing, Grant Hayes Frazier
UC Law Science and Technology Journal
Gene editing is a type of genetic engineering that enables scientists to change an organism’s DNA by adding, removing, or altering genetic material at particular locations in the human genome. While these editing technologies are in their infancy, they hold great promise for future applications. They also raise many moral, ethical, and legal questions.
Fast forward 10 years. In utero gene editing is effective, safe, and inexpensive (or covered by insurance). A couple with strong religious views against gene editing decides to procreate despite knowing, via family history, they are both homozygous dominant for the allele that causes Huntington’s disease …
Technology Transfer And The Trips Agreement Are Developed Countries Meeting Their End Of The Bargain?, David M. Fox
Technology Transfer And The Trips Agreement Are Developed Countries Meeting Their End Of The Bargain?, David M. Fox
UC Law Science and Technology Journal
International trade agreements often integrate provisions requiring the transfer of technology from developed to least-developed countries under the assumption that technological development in the world’s poorest countries will help solve pressing global concerns. At first, supplying tangible hardware and equipment to least-developed countries satisfied these trade obligations. Today, however, modern development theory calls for a broader understanding of “technology” to include knowledge, skills, and human resource development. Article 66.2 of the TRIPS Agreement instructs developed country Members to incentivize domestic enterprises and institutions “for the purpose of promoting and encouraging technology transfer to least-developed country Members.” Least-developed countries protest that …
Cryptocurrency And The § 1031 Like Kind Exchange, Eli Cole
Cryptocurrency And The § 1031 Like Kind Exchange, Eli Cole
UC Law Science and Technology Journal
Cryptocurrency has been called “a fraud” by some and “the next internet” by others. However, since the first Bitcoin was mined in 2009, the growth of the cryptocurrency market capitalization has been exponential—surpassing $800 billion at the beginning of 2018. Not surprisingly, the regulations governing these digital pieces of property have lagged the economic growth. In this Article, I attempt to answer the question: should 26 U.S.C. § 1031 apply to an exchange between cryptocurrencies?
This Article argues that the Internal Revenue Service’s decision to classify cryptocurrency as property, combined with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s hesitancy to classify all …
