From software development to e-commerce, marketing and consulting services: The use of (generative) artificial intelligence (henceforth "AI") is penetrating every conceivable industry. This raises many different questions from a legal perspective. One of the most relevant is that of data protection. The European data protection authorities impose severe fines in the millions for violations of the GDPR. The need for companies to make their offerings legally compliant is therefore just as high.
The emergence of the metaverse raises new questions about data protection. The GDPR is relevant if the metaverse operator is active in the EU or addresses EU citizens. The responsibility lies with the operator, but companies, agencies and hardware providers may also be responsible. Data protection agreements and transparent information for users about data collection are important, as is safeguarding the rights of data subjects.
Contract and competition law issues are of immense importance in the metaverse. Which law governs contracts concluded in the metaverse? How do metaverse-internal and metaverse-external contracts differ? Can traders in the metaverse compete with traders of real goods? Many questions remain unanswered at present and it remains to be seen how they will be answered.
