EP. 26: The regulation of new technologies (with Michael Kolain)

The regulation of blockchain is not easy. Many lawyers are curious about the technology but do not understand it. Then the technology offers many advantages - but what are its disadvantages? Which issues need to be regulated legally and which do not? Can the state even do that? Who is better suited for this? How must lawyers change their thinking and work to get a grip on such new technologies? Michael Kolain explains all this and more to us in this episode. As a fully qualified lawyer, he is currently working in the program area "Transformation of the State in Times of Digitalization" at the Research Institute for Public Administration. He is involved in the research projects "Algorithm Control as a Regulatory Task", "Social Media Monitoring" and "Digital Regulatory Law and Digital Security" and is an expert on the topic - and a more than pleasant interview partner.
