Objective:
Research legal problems related to rapid technological development and the internet, especially regarding intellectual property. Intellectual rights today serve as the basis for resolving issues that affect fundamental rights and produce enormous economic impact. Proposals aimed at changing regulations in this field could change the future of the world wide web. The proposal of this line of research is to reflect on current problems related to intellectual property. With the emergence of the information society, the study of the topic has become practically mandatory to understand the legal problems related to rapid technological development and the internet. Intellectual rights today serve as the basis for resolving issues that affect fundamental rights and produce enormous economic impact. Proposals aimed at changing regulations in this field, and they are frequent, could change the future of the world wide web. The aim, in particular, is to create a space to stimulate debates, production of articles and academic events on the subject. Mirror in the CNPQ Research Group Directory

Objective:
Far from being a topic relegated to the field of science fiction, Artificial Intelligence – AI is a technology present in increasingly broader areas of contemporary society. Digital personal assistants, mapping applications, chatbots and recommendation systems are examples of everyday applications of AI and represent the most visible facet of a technology used with progressive intensity in agriculture, industry, capital markets, government, health and in scientific research.

The Artificial Intelligence, Ethics and Law Research Line aims to examine the new questions raised by AI in the field of ethics and Law, from a multidisciplinary perspective. In fact, characteristics such as complexity, opacity and the difficulty of offering explanations regarding the elements that lead to a given decision can call into question concepts that are dear to the legal system, such as due legal process, the presumption of innocence, accountability for committing illegal acts and non-discrimination.

In another vein, the rapid development of systems endowed with increasingly greater autonomy raises questions regarding the need to preserve human decisions in certain domains (for example, in the case of the use of lethal autonomous weapons), regarding the interaction between humans and robots ( for example, regarding the use of sex robots and care robots) and regarding the incorporation of values ​​in AI systems.

Different legal and regulatory approaches have been proposed to address these issues, with emphasis on reflecting on the role that design itself can play in configuring ethically aligned AI systems. Mirror in the CNPQ Research Group Directory

Objective:
The line of research is focused on studying the interactions between new technologies and the exercise of the rights to freedom of expression, communication and information, as well as the impacts of new technologies on the personality and freedom of citizens. From this context, we seek to understand the possible implications for democracy, considering the tendency for misinformation and hate speech to proliferate. The works cover topics on constitutional law and fundamental rights, internet, media, among other related matters. Mirror in the CNPQ Research Group Directory

Objective:
Research and analyze how the governance models of the internet and the main companies that operate on it forge what is called internet regulation. The internet, the largest non-governmental organization in the world, receives influences from different organizations and governments, as well as the constant disruption of new technologies. The research will include topics such as content filtering and blocking, fake news, IP protocols, domain names, network neutrality, security and the transition to IPv6.
