Description
Programme

We are all aware that we are living in an era of profound exponential changes and that these changes have become structural and are no longer the result of an isolated revolution: we face a new era that is no longer digital but cognitive in which a myriad of technologies deeply disruptive, interconnected and hybridized - with artificial intelligence as a spearhead - are already questioning all our values and all our decision-making mechanisms. The conference suggests the need and urgency to open channels for reflection and dialogue on whether or not to undertake a severe revision of the Law as a guarantor of social order and proposes some examples drawn from a sector called to be deeply transformed in the coming years: Intellectual Property. Each of the examples will be evaluated from four possible scenarios: stagnation, adaptation, disruption and reinvention.
