Competing Legal Futures - Commodification Bets all the Way from Personal Data to AI
This course explores how AI-driven innovation creates legal uncertainty, as companies commercialize AI tools amid unclear and shifting regulation. It argues that co-regulatory approaches, such as those in the European AI Act, can intensify instability by forcing businesses to rely on uncertain legal expectations. It calls for institutional diversification to support more stable and resilient AI governance.
