Description
Set against the backdrop of recent developments in digital technologies and their profound impact on the economy and society, this symposium delves into critical discussions surrounding the pivotal role of “data” in this transformative landscape. We will navigate the complex intersection of law and technology in the realm of data-driven innovation.Acknowledged as a cornerstone of modern production, complementing both labour and physical capital, “data” stands at the forefront of innovation – for example in the development of artificial intelligence. However, the emergence of the data economy has brought forth a myriad of legal and regulatory challenges for market participants. These challenges span across areas such as data protection, governance, and the designation of data as an essential facility for certain business models, thereby creating both opportunities and perceived imbalances in the market, along with risks to fundamental rights.
In response to these challenges, the European Union has enacted new legislation aimed at fostering innovative business models while addressing regulatory concerns. Key examples include the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Digital Markets Act (DMA), the Digital Services Act (DSA), the Data Governance Act (DGA), the Data Act (DA), and the Artificial Intelligence Act (AIA). These legal frameworks collectively seek to establish a balance between competing interests.
In alignment with these new developments, our interdisciplinary symposium will explore various facets of data innovation, encompassing privacy, competition, cooperation, and governance.
