GJC Partner Andrew Danas recently served as program chair and moderator on a panel at the recent American Bar Association Section of International Law’s 2019 Annual Conference in Washington, D.C. The panel, When the Industry Standard is an Algorithm: Legal Issues in Developing and Implementing New Technology Standards for Multi-Party International Transactions, explored various aspects of developing and implementing new technological approaches to international supply chain management, including blockchain, AI, IoT, Smart Contracts, and algorithms. The program explored how these new technologies and business methods interrelate with existing laws, including such areas as contract law, cybersecurity law, privacy law, IP law, and competition law. The program was sponsored by the ABA SIL’s International Contracts Committee.
