"This course surveys the implications of emerging socially and economically transformative technologies, including machine learning, nanomaterials, robotics, genetic engineering, etc.  The aim is to explore how exponential technological change and innovation will affect law and society in a variety of contexts -- including medicine, law, education, finance, transportation, communication, the arts, and government -- throughout the world in the coming decades.  This course will be open to graduate students in other faculties, including engineering and computer science, and will encourage interdisciplinary discussion.  While much of the material will examine at an introductory level many emerging technologies, no formal scientific background is expected of students."
