From Nine To Noon, 11:10 am on 28 September 2023

Technology commentator Alex Sims joins Nine to Noon to look at what the Finance and Expenditure Select Committee's inquiry into cryptocurrencies found in its report released last month.

The inquiry was widened to include digital assets - of which cryptocurrencies is just one part. Alex covers off the key recommendations.

She also looks at whether accusations of bias against AI is fair - or whether it just reflects our own in-built bias as humans.

Alex Sims is an Associate Professor in the Department of Commercial Law at the University of Auckland Business School and an expert on blockchain technology, copyright law and consumer law.
