On April 18th, C_TEC co-hosted the 2nd Annual Emerging Technologies & Torts of the Future event in Seattle along with the Institute for Legal Reform.  While technologies such as autonomous vehicles and drones have taken off quickly, there are still questions looming around privacy and risks of liability.  We heard from speakers Reggie Govan, former FAA Chief Counsel; Meghan Buck, Founder & CEO of VEDA Data; David Tressler, Senior Counsel at Waymo; and Caroline McCaffrey, GC and VP at Clarifai, among others.  The discussion centered around what they see as the biggest benefits of these emerging technologies in their fields, but also how to navigate the risks as to not hinder the rate of innovation.  It was a substantive discussion and we’re looking forward to continuing to work on these issues.
