Regulating New Technologies and Academic Freedom

Let's put on your legal suit and join Emese Domahidi (Professor at TU Ilmenau) and Mario Haim (Professor at LMU Munich) welcoming Natali Helberger (Distinguished Professor of Law & Digital Technology, with a special focus on AI at the U of Amsterdam). We talk about the difficulties that come with regulating newly emerging technology. We also talk about all kinds of upcoming EU regulations (such as the Digital Services Act, DSA, the Digital Markets Act, DMA, and the AI Act) and the challenges of these, but also about the differences to other jurisdictional systems. Finally, we put this into perspective of CCS, talking about what will likely change in the new future for researchers (take-home message: a lot!).
