    New Issue | Law, Technology and Humans

    2025-11-18

    A new issue of Law, Technology and Humans has been published.

    Volume 7(3) includes a collection of symposium articles from Legal Education in the Age of Generative Artificial Intelligence. Guest Editor Zubair Abbasi (University of London, UK) brings together a collection of articles around a central inquiry: How can the legal profession and legal education responsibly harness GenAI’s capabilities while safeguarding the core values of authenticity, integrity, critical thinking, and professional accountability?

    This issue also contains a variety of topics related to contemporary issues in law and technology. Included - Kamrul Faisal examines the current framework governing child consent under the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR); Chijioke Okorie and Melissa Omino examine the relationship between Standard Public Open Licences (SPOLs) and inequity in the artificial intelligence innovation ecosystem, focusing on how these licences affect access to and use of African datasets; Lachlan Robb, Samagya Pradhan and Bikalpa Rajbhandari explore Blockchain and cryptocurrency and how they evoke the cultural imaginary of global societies and elicit both a utopian response and a fearful dystopian reaction; both have implications for how regulators create rules and structures for the use of this emerging and disruptive technology.

    All queries related to the Journal can be sent to Chief Editor Professor Kieran Tranter lawtechhum@qut.edu.au
