Content of Learning Activity
This course offers a critical introduction to IT law through four main pillars:
Intellectual property (software, digital works, generative AI);
Personal data protection (GDPR);
Artificial intelligence and emerging legal issues (transparency, accountability, bias);
Cybersecurity (regulatory frameworks, sovereignty, responsibilities).
The course is grounded in real-world cases, legal controversies, and diverse source materials. Students are encouraged to engage actively, develop their own analyses, and reflect on the normative consequences of technological choices.
Emphasis is placed on understanding mechanisms, fostering independent thinking, and making legal knowledge practically useful in a fast-changing digital environment.
