Automation to augmentation: from lawyers acting as modems and machines as judges with Pia Andrews

In episode no. 68 my guest is serial public sector transformer, Pia Andrews. We discuss:

how her pursuit of “truth” led her to the open-source movement and working in policy development;
how technological tools relate to our quality of life;
‘open source’ – its philosophy and implementation and the idea of “clever hacks”;
how ‘rules as code’ addresses issues with enforcing regulation;
prescriptive and principles-based rules and when each are appropriate;
the connection between the cost of implementing regulation and its effectiveness;
how an API for prescriptive rules relating to anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism funding could have saved one bank $16M per year!;
how ‘rules as code’ make compliance more transparent by allowing for modelling, and how this could increase accountability of the public sector;
how current policy creation is insufficient and requires input from community and an example from France which incorporated co-design of policy;
Taiwan’s response to the introduction of Uber!
the importance of multidisciplinary teams in developing policy and how ‘rules as code’ facilities doing so in real time;
how ‘rules as code’ improves trust and compliance with administrative law and shifts the onus to government;
different public sector approaches to the “new normal”;
how the relationship between the public sector and its government drives outcomes;
whether a public sector should serve – the government, parliament or the people?
3 things necessary to create an environment for innovation and solving wicked problems;
the connection between capacity and innovation, and Pia’s ideas about how to increase civic participation through a “civic gap year” and “policy difference engine”; and of course
Pia’s definition of legal innovation.
