In episode no. 75 I speak with Jason Tashea, Consultant with the World Bank and Innovation Fellow at Vanderbilt University. We discuss:

Jason’s motivation for his new project, ‘40 Futures’;
the fine line between dystopian fiction and reality;
Jason’s writing process and the ‘rules’ he set for himself in developing the project;
’40 Futures’ topics including technological surveillance, improper use of alerts, bio-data, digital privacy laws, automated police vehicles, use of genetic material and ‘the metitentiary’!;
‘Problem finding’ and ‘threatcasting’;
the consequences and rights implications of technology or services;
the principles that Jason shares that could guide development of technology;
a real-world example Jason is working on with the World Bank;
our short-term, quick fix approach compared to long term approaches;
feeback he’s had from people outside the legal innovation community about the project;
what popular TV shows like ‘Law and Order’ did for people understanding their rights;
interdisciplinary collaborations to share information!!
the ‘Justice Technology Association’ – mission and activities;
update on changes to professional legal regulation in the USA;
how to get people’s attention on these issues;
Jason flipping the interview onto me; and
