Learning outcomes

The compulsory course Legal Theory of IT 2, taught in English, places digital technologies in the context of a theory of the state that is a generalization of the challenges posed by modern technologies to the state and society. The main headings in relation to the theoretical problems of society and the state in cyberspace are: 1. Digital sovereignty, techno-spaces, techno-lands (sharing the same technology); platforms and service providers as agents of state sovereignty. 2. E-government and e-administration - Technological control and surveillance - towards a police state?; Artificial intelligence in administrative management? 3. Digital citizenship - e-democracy, e-elections, e-campaigning, hoaxes. 4. A new generation of rights and freedoms - human dignity, the right to be forgotten; the right to online anonymity; freedom of expression on the internet, privacy and data protection, the right to information, internet censorship, the limits of freedom of expression on the internet - the problem of hate speech. 5. Cyber ethics; technological neutrality, digital discrimination; personal data as the new currency 6. Automated decision making - algorithmic judges; predicting decisions using AI, the right to a fair trial and the use of AI; Digital or AI lawyers - argumentation tools and sources of argumentation. By completing the course, students will gain an understanding of general issues in the theory of the state that are facing re-evaluation in light of developments in modern technology. By completing the course, students should gain a basic understanding of the changes that the state and society and their regulation have undergone in recent decades. This course is thus intended to establish a broad foundation for the completion of the modules of the degree. In the course of the course, students work with a selection of theoretical articles, learning to search for relevant information in relation to specific digital innovations and their relevance to state theory.
