TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENTS AND LAW
Balance in any society is measured by comparing the speed of social changes and their corresponding changes in the law. The rapid social changes, as the outcome of technological advancement bring deep social effect. In order to counter those effects, the law must adapt itself and take into account the perspective future changes so as to maintain equilibrium. Thus, it would not be far-fetched to say that changes in law and technological advancements go hand in hand. With every technological development introduced in our society new relationships, activities and entities also develop which can pose certain questions regarding use and reach of the technology, limiting its use to a particular area and many others.
Laws are required to regulate these advancements. New laws specially tailored for such changes are required as the existing laws have not taken into account the rapid technological developments. Having a clear understanding of the legal issues that may arise with the advancement in technology lawmakers can amend the existing laws or make new laws to deal with them effectively. Understanding the pattern of the change would give a better picture of the possibilities or the challenges that could arise. The development of law and technology has opened various areas for research like introduction of crypto-currencies, artificial intelligence, criminal hacking, etc. The continuous developments in these technologies open opportunities for research on the relationship between law and these advancements.
