Our world and the people within it are increasingly interpreted and
classified by automated systems. At the same time, automated
classifications influence what happens in the physical world. These
entanglements change what it means to interact with governance, and
shift what elements of our identity are knowable and meaningful. In
this cyber-physical world, or 'world state', what is the role for
law? Specifically, how should law address the claim that
computational systems know us better than we know ourselves?
Monitoring Laws traces the history of government profiling from the
invention of photography through to emerging applications of
computer vision for personality and behavioral analysis. It asks
what dimensions of profiling have provoked legal intervention in
the past, and what is different about contemporary profiling that
requires updating our legal tools. This work should be read by
anyone interested in how computation is changing society and
governance, and what it is about people that law should protect in
a computational world.
