Ep. 85  Professor Lyria Bennett Moses

Lyria is my first guest that is the daughter of a previous guest, Annabelle Bennett (ep. 37). And they are both....well, quite brilliant.

Lyria is currently the Director of the UNSW Allens Hub for Technology, Law and Innovation she’s a Professor and Associate Dean (Research) in the Faculty of Law and Justice at UNSW Sydney. She herself graduated with a science law degree with honours in pure mathematics, did her Masters and Doctorate at Columbia University where her dissertation was on the impact of technological change on law. Her ongoing research continues to explore those issues. More specifically she has recently been working on legal and policy issues associated with the use of artificial intelligence. 

It's an area of law that requires an academic approach combined with a very practical one. The events and inventions you may need to apply a legal mind to....haven't occurred or been invented yet.  But it's that sort of situation that stimulates Lyria's mind. 

We broach a number of topics, including the work of another of my guests, artificial intelligence pioneer, Distinguished Professor Genevieve Bell (ep. 58). And there's a lot of mutual respect there. 

It's a complex and fascinating area. Way out of my pay grade.
