Lyria is a Professor and Head of the School of Law, Society and Criminology in the Faculty of Law and Justice at UNSW Sydney. Lyria’s research explores issues around the relationship between technology and law, including the types of legal issues that arise as technology changes, how these issues are addressed in Australia and other jurisdictions, and the problems of treating “technology” as an object of regulation. Recently, she has been working on legal and policy issues associated with the use of artificial intelligence (including a co-authored report on AI Decision-Making and Courts for the Australasian Institute of Judicial Administration, second edition of a co-authored book on Artificial Intelligence, Robots and the Law, and ongoing work on AI standards through Standards Australia), and the appropriate legal framework for enhancing cyber security (as an educator and until recently as co-lead of the Law and Policy theme in the now concluded Cyber Security Cooperative Research Centre). Lyria is a member of the editorial boards for Technology and Regulation; Law, Technology and Humans; Journal of Cross-Disciplinary Research in Computational Law; and Law in Context. She is a Fellow of the Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia, the Australian Academy of Law and the Royal Society of NSW.
