Cíle předmětu
The course is designed to introduce, analyse and critically discuss selected disruptive technologies. Every issue selected for current run of the course will be discussed in-depth with regard to both the general (e.g. regulation, contracts) and specific (e.g. regulation of AI, smart contracts) legal concepts.

This course does not provide an overview of ICT Law, but aims at critical analysis, in-depth discussion and conceptualization of current regulatory challenges of disruptive technologies.

At the end of the course, students are expected (with regard to the specific technology) to be able to:
