Abstract:
“In my lecture, I will discuss the complex relationship between Law and the Industrial Revolutions. I will demonstrate how law successfully and successively has been conquering the Industrial Revolutions by applying old legal rules on the new fields of human development. This legal historical perspective can help us to better understand the current developments regarding Artificial Intelligence, in the so-called Fourth Industrial Revolution. Are we simply repeating the pattern, or is more going on? You are welcome to join the lecture in order to find out!”
