Decentral Intelligence Agency: The Law And Autonomous Artificial Intelligence, Dr. Andrew W. Torrance , Ph. D., Dr. Bill Tomlinson , Ph.D.

Touro Law Review

Artificial intelligence (“AI”) is rapidly gaining autonomy across a range of domains, such as business, education, social relationships, and warfare. This article examines the legal and policy implications of autonomous AI agents, a rapidly evolving technology that challenges existing regulatory frameworks. Drawing from tort, agency, property, contract, privacy, human rights, and constitutional law, we propose a comprehensive approach to govern these increasingly independent entities. Our analysis begins with a historical perspective, tracing both the evolution of autonomous computational systems and of legal responses to such technologies. We then conduct a comparative study of AI governance across jurisdictions, highlighting regulatory gaps …

Protection In A Virtual Reality: The Dire Need For Trademark And Copyright Law Expansion To Encompass Digital Content Within The Metaverse, Amber N. Roibu

Touro Law Review

The Metaverse has gained much popularity in recent years, leaving some people with a feeling of uncertainty, but all the while intriguing many others. The multifaceted interactions and activities that take place within the Metaverse have made it a virtual world fertile for not only creative expression but also infringement of existing trademark and copyright protected works.

It is no easy task to design an effective system of checks and balances for holding accountable the regulatory agencies.

The executive review responsibilities of the regulatory assistance office is a significant addition to this system of regulation.

The centralized and systematic review of proposed regulations by the regulatory assistance office should provide the Executive an overview of the regulatory activities of state agencies and a unique opportunity to coordinate the development of state regulatory policies. The authority for …

Regulating The Regulators In New York State: Part I, Harold I. Abramson

Scholarly Works

In New York State, there is an elaborate system in place for holding regulatory agencies accountable. It appears to be a system developed by happenstance rather than by design. It cannot be discovered by looking it up in our statute books. It can only be found by examining court cases, executive orders, legislative resolutions, bill jackets and governmental reports and by interviewing participants in the system. It is a system with which people knowledgeable of state government is at least familiar. But it is a system of regulation which appears not to be well documented nor well studied. This paper …
