Technology is reshaping society at an unprecedented pace, raising complex legal questions that require constant adaptation. The intersection of law and technology spans various areas, including data protection, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, intellectual property, and digital governance. As technological advancements accelerate, legal frameworks must evolve to ensure that innovation aligns with ethical, regulatory, and human rights considerations.
One of the most pressing issues in this field is data privacy and cybersecurity. With the rise of big data, AI-driven decision-making, and global digital platforms, protecting personal information and ensuring fair and transparent algorithmic processes have become key legal concerns. Regulations such as the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) set important standards, yet enforcement and adaptation remain ongoing challenges.
Beyond privacy, intellectual property law faces new dilemmas as digital content, blockchain technologies, and AI-generated works challenge traditional legal definitions of ownership and authorship. Similarly, emerging technologies like biotechnology, space exploration, and quantum computing are pushing legal systems into uncharted territory, requiring proactive legal innovation.
The ALF offers a space for legal scholars, practitioners, and students to critically engage with these evolving challenges. We welcome contributions that analyze case law, policy developments, ethical dilemmas, and regulatory frameworks shaping the future of technology and law.
