Short Learning Programme in Online Law and Industry 4IR

Purpose

This programme introduces students to the intersection between law and the Fourth Industrial Revolution. It aims to equip professionals or would be professionals with a background from the legal, forensic or technical background with the necessary technical and legal knowledge in creating and implementing answerable programmes and policy frameworks relating to the ever- expanding area of law and 4IR. A clear comprehension of the need to embrace the benefits of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) and to standardise the challenges that these ICTs engender is essential. Sometimes, this requires experts from diverse industries or fields to do collaborating or multi-disciplinary scholarly work aimed at uncovering the impact that ICTs have or is likely to have to their respective industries. Consequently, the programme exposes, in an elementary and expertly manner, the shortcomings of the law in dealing with the developments emerging consequent to 4IR. It furthermore sets out legally workable ways of addressing these limitations in a digital era.
