The AMU Faculty of Law and Administration warmly invite You to an Open Lecture on "Digitalisation and the Criminal Law" that will be delivered by István Ambrus, PhD. Habil. Associate Professor, Head of Departament of Criminology at Eötvös Loránd University.
The event will be held on Friday, 20 January, at 11:30 am, in room 3.1 CIN in the Faculty of Law and Administration building.

The subject matter of the lecture "Digitalisation and the Criminal Law" covers issues of both the general and unique parts of substantive criminal law. Within the framework of the general part, the issues related to the way of interpreting the definition of the subject matter and the stage forms of an offence will be discussed. In the following part of the lecture, the challenges that digitisation brings to the current criminal law will be analysed. In this context, the impact of the development of technologies based on artificial intelligence on the law, including the definition of new terms, needs to be discussed. The explicit part of the lecture deals with digital crimes sensu stricto and sensu largo (e.g. cybercrime).
