Toxic tort cases have increased dramatically since the 1970s, as large technological systems, such as nuclear power plants and chemical factories, or mass-produced, high-tech products, had exposed citizens and consumers to dangerous substances. It was, however, difficult to establish causal connection between exposure and the alleged harms in many of the environmental, pollution, and product liability cases under the framework of tort law conception of causation and responsibility. Science and law was called upon to resolve such 'late modern' legal cases where true causes are hard to find, where no single explanatory factor is sufficient for explaining diseases like cancer. This article examines how plaintiffs in the Korean tobacco litigation mobilized such late modern tools in science and law, such as epidemiology and the allocation of the burden of proof, in the context of the global circulation of science and law. It further shows how a set of the scientific theories and legal arguments developed in order to cope with late modern risk played a central role in establishing a causation between smoking and cancer in 2011. This article suggests that STS scholars can fruitfully examine the interaction between science and law as a way to understand and engage with social and legal issues engendered by late modern risk.

2016년 다보스포럼에서 클라우드 슈밥이 언급한 '제4차 산업혁명'은 우리의 삶을 획기적으로 바꾸고 있으며, 그 정점에 자율주행자동차가 이 시대의 화두로 떠오르고 있다. 그러나 우리나라에서 자율주행자동차가 성공적으로 도입 및 정착되기까지는 아직 극복해야 할 과제들이 많이 있다. 특히 '인간' 중심의 법제도를 '인공지능'이 포함된 법제도로 패러다임을 변화해야 할 것이다. 자율주행자동차 시대의 안정적 운용을 위해서는 사람중심의 입법체계에 대한 획기적인 변화가 필요하다. 즉, 자율주행자동차를 운행하는 운행주체가 누구인지(무엇인지)와 일반도로에서 일반 자동차와 운행이 가능한지 여부, 교통사고 발생 시 민형사상 책임 문제, 자율주행자동차 관련 보험 문제, 개인정보수집과 이용에 관한 문제, 제3자에 의한 오남용 문제 등을 종합적이고 포괄적으로 검토해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 도로교통 관련 국내 법률, 해외 법제 현황, 자율주행자동차 관련 법적 쟁점 등을 검토하여 입법론적 관점에서 자율주행자동차 운행 시 발생하는 제반 법적 문제 해결을 위한 별도의 법안 신설을 제안하며 그 법안에 대한 내용을 제시하였다.

Throughout the history of the aviation industry, from its origins in the $20^{th}$century to the present, accidents have always occurred. This paper deals with the legal liability of air traffic controllers, who represent one of the human factors causing these accidents. Though controller negligence turns out to be a main cause of the accident, Korea does not have additional judical case, since it was firstly declared that controller negligence was accountable for the air traffic accident in 1971. As such, we examine the liability of air traffic controllers as public officers. This paper looks not only at the role of air traffic controllers and pilots in accidents, but also at the applicability of controller liability in the context of Korean law. We determine that despite the high-stress environment, air traffic controllers must share in the responsibility to provide safe air navigation. Therefore, they cannot avoid legal liability.

This study is a preceding research designed to deduct an institutional supplementary measure that minimizes any inevitable side effects from the improvement of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, which is the core element of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. In this specific case in which the Robo-Advisor, the representative type of AI-applied technology, was hacked by a third party and ended up manipulating prices, the study was intended to examine the responsibility relationship of the current legal framework. Although the current legal framework strictly prohibits acts such as hacking and manipulation, it was confirmed that if the Robo-Advisor management firm acts in compliance with protection measures regarding hacking, the firm is free from any legal liabilities and there is insufficient legal protection available for ordinary investors with grand-scale damage from price manipulation Based on this study, further studies are needed to derive more institutional supplementary measures on overcoming these problems.
