William & Mary Law Podcast

Continuing our discussion of smart city technology and civil rights, CLCT Research Fellows Taylor Lain (host), Katherine Sorrell, and Alex Pratt explore the implications of specific smart city technology, such as facial recognition, predictive policing, and risk-assessment tools, and how these tools may affect minority or disadvantaged populations.
