Extended Reality and the Law

<p>Tomorrow's virtual worlds will be governed, at least at first, by today's legal and regulatory regimes. How will privacy law, torts, IP, or even criminal law apply in 'extended reality' (XR)?</p><p>Drawing from the discussion at a conference hosted earlier this year at Stanford University called "<a href="https://cyber.fsi.stanford.edu/events/existing-law-and-extended-reality" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Existing Law and Extended Reality</a>," this episode asks what challenges will emerge from human behavior and interaction-- with one another and with technology-- inside XR experiences, and what choices governments and tech companies will face in addressing those challenges.</p><p>This episode of <em>The Sunday Show</em> was produced by <em>Tech Policy Press</em> audio and reporting intern <strong>Rebecca Rand</strong>, and features the voices of experts such as <strong>Brittan Heller</strong> (the organizer of the Stanford conference), <strong>Mary Anne Franks</strong>, <strong>Kent Bye</strong>, <strong>Jameson Spivack</strong>, <strong>Joseph Palmer</strong>, <strong>Eugene Volokh</strong>, <strong>Amie Stepanovich</strong>, <strong>Susan Aaronson</strong>, <strong>Florence G'Sell</strong>, and <strong>Avi Bar Zeev</strong>.</p>
