About this course
Different forms of digitalization, such as artificial intelligence, have already changed our life and will further change it in the future. Law often lags behind in this regard and is not able to offer adequate solutions for these challenges and questions. That is why in an increasing way, values and ethical principles are invoked in order to provide these adequate answers; not only within the EU, but also worldwide. This coure entitled “EU values and digitalization” addresses both students at MCI, as well as interested persons outside. This course does not require a specific pre-knowledge and therefore is based on pre-readings, offered in advance. This course is a continuation of the course offered from 2019-2022 thanks to the support of the European Commission in the framework of Erasmus+ (Jean Monnet Chair).
