The course intends to offer an introduction to the legal system of data governance as a prerequisite for the applications of artificial intelligence and algorithmic decisions, from a comparative and global law perspective. It intends to overcome disciplinary barriers and illustrate how different legal systems and traditions (in particular, China, Europe, USA) define alternative systems of governance regards some of the most crucial assets for the information society. Among the most relevant topics, we will investigate the relationship between data and territory, data as economic resources, data as the object of fundamental rights, data in the IoT and artificial intelligence, data in algorithmic decisions, data and digital platforms.
