Beschreibung: Lawyers are often seen as spoilsports by developers, constantly pointing out what the GDPR, the AI Regulation, etc., prohibit. We will shift the perspective, using numerous examples to show that the law indeed serves to create freedoms – including for innovations and creative business ideas. The colloquium delves deeper into the legal issues related to core digital technologies.
The colloquium accompanies the Law and Technology lecture and is partially interconnected. Students are asked to come up with an idea for a digital application, which will be refined throughout the course – and presented to an auditorium of practitioners at the end of the term.
‘Compliance by design’ refers to the adherence to rules (e.g. laws, contractual obligations, technical standards, and internal regulations or guidelines) in developing IT technologies. The colloquium touches the most important terms using the student proposals, describes the legal framework and classifies compliance in the overall context of data driven technologies. Content, scope and limits of duties in IT and technology development are discussed, as are fundamental strategies for avoiding and limiting liability. ‘Digital Twins’ is a core example and starting point. It aims to provide an overview of practical use cases of digital twins and the legal questions involved. It will provide insights into the diverse aspects and application areas and the legal challenges associated with the development of digital twins. Examples of the enormous potential for using digital twins are addressed, ranging from risk analysis prior to commissioning a plant to operational collaboration with people using augmented reality or the active use of an executable digital twin.
