New technologies: The role of law in shaping of the digital markets 1600-SZD-ID-NN
During the course, articles describing research on issues related to new technologies that use various methods will be discussed, e.g. empirical research on the application of law or research using the analysis of legal acts to reflect on new business models or on the relationship between the deployment of new technologies in the areas regulated by law. The topics discussed will include personal data protection law (General Data Protection Regulation), legal acts on artificial intelligence (Artificial Intelligence Act), legal acts on digital markets (Digital Markets Act and its relationship with competition law) and legal acts regarding platform work (draft directive on platform workers). During the classes the sources of law (Polish law, European Union law, and international law) and the specificity of methods used in legal sciences (e.g. dogmatic and comparative analysis) will be discussed, in order to allow the participants to better understand the role of law in shaping new technologies
