About Technocracy

Our social lives are managed through apps. Our dating prospects are arranged by swipe. Algorithms dictate what we listen to, the places we go and the information we consume. It’s hard to overstate how many fundamental human behaviours are now integrated with technology.

We are only just beginning to grapple with the implications of this new technological paradigm. This newsletter is my place to do just that.

About Matt

I am currently completing my doctoral research on law and AI at Columbia University in New York City. Previously, I was an adjunct lecturer at the University of Auckland’s Faculty of Law, teaching a range of courses including Technology Law and Policy and Legal Ethics.

I have written pieces on the law and policy of emerging technology for a range of think tanks and media organisations including the Australian Strategic Policy Institute, RNZ, the Lowy Institute, Newsroom and the Australian Institute of International Affairs. My writing has also been cited by The Washington Post and Hacker News.
