Vanderbilt Journal of Entertainment & Technology Law

Rapid developments in sensors, computing, and robotics, including power, kinetics, control, telecommunication, and artificial intelligence have presented opportunities to further integrate sophisticated automation across society.

Revoking Rights, Craig J. Konnoth Jan 2015
