Honored to be promoted to Associate Professor with tenure at the University of Washington! I'm grateful to my mentees, students, collaborators, mentors & the @TechPolicyLab for advancing AI & Ethics together--and for the invaluable academic freedom to keep shaping trustworthy AI.

So excited to share my first solo authored book! The book explains what makes technology so hard for law to analyze and regulate, and provides a step-by-step method for generating wiser tech policy. A steal at $40. 😉 All thoughts warmly welcome. global.oup.com/academic/produ…
