That was the title of the winning essay, written by George Sabonadiere, in this year’s Gallaway Cook Allan prize in law and emerging technologies.
About 85 entries were received in the competition, which gave University of Otago law students free rein to write about legal and regulatory issues surrounding emerging technologies. Essays that made the shortlist were chosen by a panel of judges from academic and business, and weight was also given to readability.
The prize was developed by Colin Gavaghan, from the university’s law faculty, and former Gallaway Cook Allan chief executive Matt Gorman.
Mr Sabonadiere received $1000, while runners-up Sophie Hursthouse and Conor Evans each received $500.
