At the end of the course, students will have a comprehensive understanding of the interplay between technology, digitalization, and law, and be able to interpret and analyze fundamental principles and legal reasoning in the area. Students will be able to critically evaluate phenomena such as social media, new media, and artificial intelligence and discuss them from a law perspective.
Students will also be able to reflect on the legal and social issues affecting the production and use of the new technologies. Particular attention is dedicated in the course to the legal issues raised by the online distribution of digital content and services such as peer-to-peer, and to their impact on society at large and on business practices.
