Abstract
Law is sometimes seen as ‘lagging behind’ technology and innovation.When technological progress is quick, and bureaucracy is slow, legislative practices might fall behind the social and scientific realities. On the one hand, law is criticised for being an ‘unwanted constraint’ on innovation and for disincentivising technological progress. On the other hand, some argue that law responds well to digital technology and hence becomes essential in fostering a responsible and fertile technoscientific development. This culture clash of law and technology revolves around the balance between forward looking characteristics of science and the need to provide social justice and equity in contemporary societies. This paper emphasizes the inevitability of inter and intra-disciplinary approaches in legal research on technology today and will suggest a possible approach to this culture clash.
