On the Fourth Industrial Revolution

The work deals comprehensively with the social, technical and ecological changes of the 21st century and their legal implications. It contains current research findings on issues such as digitalisation, the use of artificial intelligence and also on the topics of taxonomy and human rights, which were developed in collaboration between the Universities of Augsburg and Johannesburg.
Current topics are introduced by academics from Germany and then reflected on by South African colleagues. This leads to a better understanding of unresolved legal issues in both legal systems.
