Syllabus

Course Objectives

The course aims to provide an introductory yet solid overview of the European and national regulatory framework on personal data protection, artificial intelligence, and digital law. By the end of the course, students will be able to:

  • understand the functioning and objectives of the GDPR and related regulatory instruments;
  • grasp the legal, ethical, and economic implications arising from the use of data and AI in complex technological systems;
  • identify the legal responsibilities associated with the use of algorithm-based systems;
  • apply the acquired knowledge to critically navigate the European regulatory ecosystem concerning technological innovation and risk management.



Course Prerequisites

Nessuno.


Teaching Methods

Most of the course will be delivered through lectures featuring concrete examples and case discussions.

Active student participation is expected through short exercises, guided questions, and small group work.

Materials used during the lessons will be uploaded to the e-learning platform and will form an integral part of the exam syllabus.

Attendance is strongly recommended to ensure a thorough understanding of the content and effective engagement in the learning activities.


Assessment Methods

A single exam is scheduled, covering both the first module (No. 97R004-1 – Prof. Cerea) and the second module (No. 97R004-2 – Prof. Zanichelli).

The final grade, expressed in thirtieths, will be the average of the marks obtained in each module. The exam is considered passed if the student demonstrates sufficient knowledge of the topics from both modules.

The exam will be conducted orally, following the order of registration for the exam session.

The oral exam will normally include three questions for each of the two modules (the number of questions may vary depending on how the interview proceeds).


Each individual answer will be assessed based on the following criteria:

  • quality, completeness, and relevance to the question;
  • ability to argue and reason effectively;
  • proper use of language and clarity of expression;
  • ability to summarize.


With regard specifically to the first module, attending students may be offered the option, at the end of the course, to submit a short paper on one of the topics or practical cases covered. This paper will contribute to the final grade by averaging with the result of the oral exam.
