Abstract
ABSTRACT Just as the evolution of the Internet has transformed the way people live and work, so too the next significant iteration of the Internet, commonly referred to as the Metaverse, which the authors suggest will go beyond the Internet as a sort of successor state to the Internet, will also lead to significant societal change. This paper considers a number of issues that are likely to test the law and its response including in the areas of online wrongs, intellectual property and digital assets.
期刊介绍:
Stem cell research, cloning, GMOs ... How do regulations affect such emerging technologies? What impact do new technologies have on law? And can we rely on technology itself as a regulatory tool? The meeting of law and technology is rapidly becoming an increasingly significant (and controversial) topic. Law, Innovation and Technology is, however, the only journal to engage fully with it, setting an innovative and distinctive agenda for lawyers, ethicists and policy makers. Spanning ICTs, biotechnologies, nanotechnologies, neurotechnologies, robotics and AI, it offers a unique forum for the highest level of reflection on this essential area.
