Cyber Law. 3 credits

Catalog description

Technological developments and progress have made cybercrimes (i.e., crimes committed using or targeting a computer) more prevalent, efficient, and cost-effective. Additionally, the rise of novel technologies, such as Artificial Intelligence, poses new challenges for the legal system and society. To understand these challenges, as well as how courts, regulators, and the private sector are responding to them, this course will focus on (1 ) Substantive computer crimes that involve a computer either as a target or as a medium through which a traditional crime is committed; (2) laws that govern the collection of computerized or digital evidence; (3) regulation of consumer privacy and data protection, including a comparative study of the U.S. and E.U. approaches to privacy regulations; (4) the importance of design for new technologies; and (5) jurisdictional issues from both a U.S. and international perspective. Offered by Cyber Security Engineering . May not be repeated for credit.
