Liability is Not a Dirty Word with Casey Mock from the Centre for Humane Technology

Chief Policy and Public Affairs Officer at the Center for Humane Technology, Casey Mock, joins Johanna for a discussion on incentives for building safer and more humane technology.

Casey and Johanna discuss designing platforms for people, not just profit, how to realign incentives in tech using the well-established concept of legal liability, what to expect from a Trump administration in regards to tech policy, creative ways to overcome legal logjams, and how – contrary to popular belief – clear liability legislation empowers innovation.

They also explore Australia’s under 16 social media ban, different approaches to globally tackle similar issues, and Australia’s reputation internationally on tech legislation.
