Law & Digital Compliance

Law & Digital Compliance

Big Data, artificial intelligence, Robots, 3D Printing, the Smart Factory and self-driving cars. All terms that are linked to the technological and social changes we face at work, at home, at school, when buying products on the internet or voting in an election.

What rules and standards are needed to ensure that Big Data and artificial intelligence can be used to support us in our own needs? And what frameworks are needed to prevent these technologies from being at the expense of our society? To what extent is established legislation resistant to accelerated digitization? And what legal shortcomings must be bridged by the new legislation? In short: Digital Governance must be considered.

Digital Governance (DIGOV) is the name of the Jean Monnet Center of Excellence awarded by the European Commission to the Erasmus School of Law. The award is also a recognition of Erasmus School of Law’s leadership in research into the legal consequences of technological disruption. You can read more about Klaus’ work here.
