Biography

I am Senior Partner with the World Legal Summit and Senior Fellow with the Centre for International Governance Innovation. My areas of interest overlap innovation, public policy, and military technologies and I have a particular interest in the legal and regulatory challenges overlapping technological disruption. I have written or edited eight books across a range of subjects and I have worked as an advisor to government in Latin America and North America. I write for Forbes, the Brookings Institution, Singularity Hub, Futurism and other media platforms and have been invited to speak on my work at a number of universities and research centers including the U.S. Naval Postgraduate School, the Canadian Department of National Defence, Harvard University, the American Enterprise Institute, the Center for Global Policy Solutions, Stanford University, the University of Toronto, UC Santa Cruz, and Microsoft Research. In addition to speaking and writing, I am also a film producer and screenwriter with a special interest in science fiction.
