From Harvard’s Berkman Center for Internet and Society comes a marvelous and cogent video featuring Danielle Citron of the University of Maryland Law School discussing how technology and computer automation are altering due process and a new model embracing automation without sacrificing due process. Her examples focus on health care and the need for transparency at the level of computer code — as well as other recommendations — for large automated systems. She emphasizes the unappreciated power of programmers to implement questionable interpretations of policies, as well as the absence of appropriate testing for legal compliance. Long (over one hour) but very insightful.
