Technology can become a “shell game” of responsibility, where companies push the consequences of dangerous systems onto individuals instead of the decisions made in boardrooms.

On the Future Knowledge #podcast, legal scholar Ryan Calo points to social media addiction, autonomous vehicle failures, and other technological harms as examples of why legal liability matters.

Legal scholar Ryan Calo argues that technology is never inevitable. The real challenge is building laws and institutions that can keep pace before new tools reshape society around us.

In LAW & TECHNOLOGY On the Future Knowledge #podcast, Calo joins Danielle Citron to discuss regulation, accountability, drone surveillance, generative AI, and why policymakers need frameworks that look beyond whatever technology is currently in front of them.

"The reason we have such debt, but we also have essentially a crumbling society, is because we have taken on that debt merely to enrich the already wealthy." - @grahamformaine

"We put this money out in the form of fossil fuel subsidies. We put it out in the form of tax cuts for billionaires and for corporations. We put it out into massive amount of funding for the military industrial complex. That's where the money has gone."

Excellent review of @rcalo's Law and Technology: A Methodical Approach (2025) in Jotwell. Calo's four-step framework brings long-overdue rigor to tech law scholarship. Technology is design, not destiny — and law needs to engage with it that way.
