Description
Online digital marketplaces are rapidly evolving with the development of new technologies including artificial intelligence (AI) systems, creating global opportunities but also challenges. This session will look at the current and emerging issues in digital marketplaces in Europe, the UK, the US and other jurisdictions from a consumer, business and platform perspective, including: the unfair trade practices; anti-competitive conduct; online safety: protection of intellectual property: transparency: access to data: privacy protection: advertising and marketing; and environmental sustainability.
This session will also examine current and emerging issues from the operation of EU’s Digital Markets Act and Digital Services Act, which commenced in May 2023. Are these laws achieving their goal of ‘delivering a fairer, safer and more transparent space for consumers and businesses’? How are regulators enforcing these laws?
