The Sixth Annual Conference on Governance of Emerging Technologies & Science (GETS): Law, Policy and Ethics will be held on May 16-18, 2018 at ASU Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law, Phoenix, AZ.
The conference is premised on the belief that there is much to be learned and shared from and across the governance experience and proposals for these various emerging technologies.
The conference will consist of plenary and session presentations and discussions on regulatory, governance, legal, policy, social and ethical aspects of emerging technologies, including (but not limited to) nanotechnology, synthetic biology, gene editing, biotechnology, genomics, personalized medicine, digital health, human enhancement technologies, blockchain, cryptocurrencies, data analytics, telecommunications, information technologies, surveillance technologies, technology & privacy, cybersecurity, geoengineering, neuroscience, military technologies, artificial intelligence, algorithms, autonomous cars, and robotics.
