The primary concern of the present paper is the cost of acquiring information by judges and legislators in the process of regulating new technologies. The paper distinguishes between risky and uncertain applications of technology. A risky technology poses an obvious risk, and the problem before the regulator is one of comparing cost and benefit. We argue that the judiciary, which acquires information gratis from litigants, is better suited to the regulation of risky technologies. Uncertain technologies, on the other hand, can be harmful in ways which cannot be foreseen at the time of the technological innovation. Cost and benefit are incalculable; regulation must instead be based on subjective preferences about the degree of uncertainty that society should tolerate. Legislative law-making is designed with a view to aggregating subjective preferences. Accordingly, uncertain technologies should be regulated through statute.

“…We are living a moment of intense techno-regulation, commodification of personal data, and no strong legal apparatus to protect human and fundamental rights such as privacy protection. It is crucial that we stop to think about the role that the law should play in this context, especially in countries like Brazil that don't have yet for example a solid and comprehensive data protection law (Pagallo, 2013).…”

“…The legal order and the rule of law, differently from other social orders, regulates human behavior by means of a specific technique. Once such technique regulates other techniques that orients behaviors and, beyond that, processes of technological innovation, we may accordingly conceive the law as a meta-technology (Pagallo, 2013).…”

The promise of hyperconnectivity. Continuous interaction between gadgets, sensors and people points to the rising number of data being produced, stored and processed. On one hand, it may bring benefits to consumers, on the other, growing connectivity, accompanied by data overflow, can also challenge privacy and fundamental rights. This paper approaches some of the challenges faced by the rule of law posed by the advancement of the Internet of Things, which includes a wide variety of actors, most importantly private companies that seek to promote techno-regulation through design, algorithms and market-based contracts.

“…will far exceed the capability of a single individual. 152 Although this is directly relevant to the supply side, the defects and complexities of machines will affect the liability of the user side as well. This is because such complexities will warrant giving risk notifications to workers, arranging adequate training of robots' operators, ensuring proper maintenance of IRs, carrying out appropriate supervision of robots' users, etc.…”
