Technology Creates Challenges for Legal Science – Dr. Konstantinos Kouroupis Explains

The rapid evolution of technology is creating significant challenges for Legal Science, as continuous adaptation and regulation of new phenomena are required. Dr. Konstantinos Kouroupis emphasizes the need to place human rights at the center of technological development in order to ensure their protection from potential violations. Uncontrolled use of technology can lead to violations of fundamental rights, such as privacy and transaction security. Dr. Kouroupis, coordinator of the new postgraduate program in Law of New Technologies at Frederick University, points out that this program fills an important gap in legal education, providing specialized training in issues arising from the intersection of law and technology. The program is aimed at both legal professionals and technology professionals. The challenges posed by technology include, among others, the protection of personal data, the regulation of artificial intelligence, the fight against cyberattacks, and ensuring the security of online transactions. Legal Science is called upon to find answers to these questions in order to ensure a safe and advanced digital environment. The need for specialization in the Law of New Technologies is imperative, as technological evolution continues at an unabated pace and constantly creates new legal issues. Ensuring the ethical and fair use of technology is a legal and social priority.
