About

Chris Holder is a legal scholar whose work sits at the critical intersection of emerging technology and regulatory frameworks. Specializing in the legal and ethical dimensions of robotics and artificial intelligence, Holder has made significant contributions to our understanding of how existing legal systems must adapt to accommodate increasingly autonomous machines. His landmark two-part series, "Robotics and Law: Key Legal and Regulatory Implications of the Robotics Age," published in 2016, stands as a foundational reference in the field, collectively accumulating over 160 citations and establishing him as an authoritative voice in technology law. These companion papers systematically examine the profound challenges that robotics poses to traditional legal concepts such as liability, personhood, and accountability — questions that have only grown more urgent as robotic systems become embedded in healthcare, transportation, and daily life. Holder's scholarship is particularly valuable for legal practitioners, policymakers, and technologists grappling with regulatory gaps in an era of rapid automation. His work serves as an essential starting point for anyone seeking to understand the evolving legal landscape surrounding intelligent machines and autonomous systems.
