Professor A. Michael Froomkin, the Laurie Silvers and Mitchell Rubenstein Distinguished Professor of Law, edited the latest volume of Robot Law, along with Ryan Calo and Kristen Thomasen. The contributions to this volume were drawn predominantly from contributors to the We Robot conference, which celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2022. This volume explores the legal, ethical, and societal challenges that robotics and automated systems pose, investigating the intersection of law and policy in this area.
Froomkin is the founder and editor-in-chief of JOTWELL: The Journal of Things We Like (Lots), an online law journal that publishes reviews of the best new scholarship relating to the law. He is also the founder of the We Robot conference on legal and policy issues relating to robotics.
He is an Affiliated Fellow of the Yale Information Society Project, and on the Advisory Boards of the Electronic Privacy Information Center, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, and the Future of Privacy Forum.
Froomkin currently teaches Administrative Law, AI and Robot Law, Jurisprudence, and, in alternate years, Privacy.
