Présentation du cours

In the digital economy, international trade is increasingly shaped by data, artificial intelligence and digital platforms. These developments are transforming the way goods and services are exchanged across borders, while raising new and complex questions concerning regulation, market access, competition, liability, data governance and fundamental rights. The course Digital Trade Law: AI, Big Data and Digital Platforms examines the evolving legal framework governing digital trade and the impact of emerging technologies on international commerce. It provides participants with a comprehensive understanding of the regulatory challenges arising from the increasing use of data-driven technologies, algorithmic systems and online platforms in cross-border economic activity. Particular attention is devoted to the platform economy and to the legal responsibilities of online intermediaries and marketplaces, including developments relating to the Digital Services Act, the Platform-to-Business Regulation and product liability in digital environments. The course also explores the growing role of artificial intelligence in international trade, including its implications for commercial transactions, market regulation, compliance, decision-making and the organisation of global value chains. Participants will further examine the legal and economic significance of data as a strategic asset, addressing issues such as cross-border data flows, access to and use of data, digital sovereignty, competition and the interaction between technological innovation and international trade regulation. The programme adopts a forward-looking approach and considers how technologies such as artificial intelligence, blockchain and automated systems are challenging traditional legal concepts and creating new forms of economic activity. Particular emphasis is placed on the interaction between technological innovation, regulatory policy and the evolving architecture of international trade law. Through expert-led sessions, case studies, practical exercises and interactive discussions, participants will develop the ability to identify and assess the legal risks and regulatory implications associated with digital business models and emerging technologies. By the end of the course, participants will have strengthened their understanding of the legal frameworks governing digital trade and acquired the analytical tools required to address the rapidly evolving relationship between technology, regulation and international commerce.
