This seminar will address some of these challenges that both regulators and business face. It will compare a number of international and EU regimes that take the mandatory, co-regulatory or self-regulatory approach to address concerns surrounding disruptive technologies (the Internet, AI, blockchain) and discuss their common principles and differences. The aim is to draw from the existing and emerging sectoral regulatory regimes, such as the traditional media, telecommunications or the Internet and assess whether and to what extent these general and specific principles of regulation are applicable to different contexts, industries and countries, including Cyprus.
