I've updated UCL Massively Crossreferenced Digital Laws — it now features ~40 EU instruments as well as Irish & UK digital laws; what cites each article/para/sub para from a db of 6.5M cases, statutes, decisions, guidance, pending CJEU preliminary rulings & more homepages.ucl.ac.uk/~ucqnmve/law...

Much of the scholarship (+ the US govt btw) finds LLMs politically biased (aka too left-leaning). Our new preprint explains why these claims are methodologically misguided and conceptually wrong. So, instead of looking at the outputs, we seek for ‘politics’ inwards, at GPT-5’s web search function

After years of regulating tech that flows through clouds, we ended up in a race to build more of it. In a new 📝 at @reggovjournal.bsky.social w/ @fencesitter8.bsky.social & @jvh.bsky.social, we explain how we got here and ask for some breathing room for lawyers and policymakers.

Pre-installed (else, why?) Adobe Acrobat defaulting to automatically opening *every pdf I download, is hands-down the most audacious default one can conspire. It's so wrong I almost respect it.

Now hiring in law & tech @ucllaws.bsky.social! Lecturer/Assoc Prof in IP & IT law: intersection of platform reg, emerging tech, copyright/designs. Join me @bernardkeenan.bsky.social Orla Lynskey @alinatrapova.bsky.social Ilanah Fhima, Matt Fisher, Robin Jacob & friends www.ucl.ac.uk/work-at-ucl/...

We are looking to appoint to one or more posts in IP/IT Law, as Associate Professor or Lecturer in Law. Applications from colleagues who can also teach in other subject areas, including French Law, are most welcome.

The closing date for applications is 28 February 2025. Interviews will likely take place in the week(s) commencing 05 and 12 May 2025.

About you

Successful candidates will be expected to engage in world leading research, and to contribute to the Faculty’s development and advancement of both intellectual property and information technology law and policy, and other areas of law falling within their subject matter expertise. It is also expected that the post-holders will contribute to all aspects of the academic life of the Faculty and University.

The Faculty has a particular interest in recruiting scholars with research interests in copyright law, platform regulation, enforcement with and through technology, and the intersection of emerging technologies with other IP rights such as designs. UCL Laws faces growing demand for teaching and engagement on IP and IT issues from other parts of the university, as well as in executive education, and we particularly welcome applicants with interest and experience of teaching contested legal topics to technologists, creatives and other non-lawyers.

Reflecting the broad strength of the Faculty, we welcome scholars from a wide array of approaches to these issues — socio-legal, comparative, doctrinal, empirical, historical and/or theoretical and interdisciplinary approaches. Applicants should, however, pay particular attention to how their work illustrates their capacity for depth and rigour in a fast-moving field prone to superficial analysis.

Apple has opted iOS and MacOS users into an AI photo scanning feature which tries to extract landmarks from your photos called Enhanced Visual Search by default with little notice. www.theregister.com/2025/01/03/a...

Speaking of which: as @petroster.bsky.social puts it, 'Digital Constitutionalism falsely implies the absence of law rather than its presence – or indeed irrelevance – as major causes of this ‘constitutional crisis’. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

My new paper on the legal making of the European digital economy is out today on First View in the always insightful European Law Open! 💫 What a wonderful way to close this personally fulfilling and eventful year 😊 (even though, globally, the year's been very bleak...)

Fun fact: The ceiling at the European Commission’s famous hemicycle room has 27 lamps which also means that when the UK left the EU they took down one.
