    "Iperpositività": la riduzione del giuridicamente lecito al tecnicamente possibile nella società dell'informazione

    No full text
    Abstract: In this work I discuss a peculiar trend in contemporary european and italian legislation aiming at reducing fundamental legal concepts within the boundaries of technical categories of IT. Some crucial examples are presented, and a general overview of the consequences is given. In first place, this phenomenon changes the way in which the legal norm is derived asking for a modification of the composition in the set of communities whose interpretative work is necessary for making the legal rule work in the society. Since the main framework is made by technical presuppositions and definitions, the community of IT scholars is now legitimate as one new kind of legal community too, and new forms of dialogue with the traditional legal communities (judges, legal scholars, professional legal associations) are to be found. Secondly, it may lead to the extreme the reduction of what is lecit from the juridical point of view to what is technically made possible by IT (“Code is Law”1), thus increasing exponentially the level of artificiality in legal behaviour. As a matter of fact, in order for the technical framework to be efficient it needs to have a complete dominance of the pragmatic conditions of the behaviour which is supposed to comply, realizing a level of control never attained before by the legal rule alone. I suggest to call this last phenomenon – which is open to discussion – “Hyper-positivity”

    At the end of the case study, I managed to get a lot of new knowledge about business in the real world. I also can get know more detail about Entrepreneurial Competences that the entrepreneur should have. There are 13 types of this which is initiative, sees and acts on opportunities, persistence, information seeking, concern for high quality of work, commitment to work contract, efficiency orientation, systematic planning, problems solving, self-confidence, assertiveness, persuasion and use of influence strategies. For this case study I have choose Butik Sarra owned by Puan Sarra binti Hamid. This business is focuses on blouse and baju kurung. I got know about this business information through online interview with the employees and internet. A few information I got is about the location, services, operation and so on. Besides that, I also get to know about Puan Sarra and her personal entrepreneurial competencies. There are a few personal entrepreneurial competencies that Puan Sarra has as an entrepreneur. It recognizes and acts on opportunities, has persistence, is committed to a work contract, solves problems, has confidence, and persuasion. The conclusion is by do all that Puan Sarra have be a successful entrepreneur. The conclusion is that being a successful entrepreneur is not easy, but it doesn’t mean we must give up. There is always a way to succeed and one of the ways is we must have at least a few entrepreneurial competences in ourselves

    Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery. Preliminaries for a Critical Examination of the Data Driven Society

    No full text
    Data Mining (DM) is the analytical activity aimed at revealing new “knowledge” from data useful for further decision-making processes. These techniques have recently acquired enormous importance as they seem to fit perfectly the requests of the so called “Data Driven World”. In this paper, first I give an overview of DM, and of the most relevant criticisms raised so far. Then using a well-known case study and the European General Data Protection Regulation as benchmark, I show that there are some specific ambiguities in this use of “knowledge” which are relevant for the ethical and legal assessment of DM

    Lo scudo di Dioniso. Contributo allo studio della metafora giuridica.

    Presentazione del volume Il tema della metafora è sicuramente uno dei più affascinanti e studiati di ogni tempo. In particolare, nel Novecento, dopo la pubblicazione di The philosophy of Rhetoric di Ivor Armstrong Richards, si è assistito ad una notevole crescita di interesse per questa figura che ha coinvolto pressoché ogni ambito dello scibile, producendo un'alluvionale letteratura caratterizzata da un altissimo grado di interdisciplinarietà. In questo scenario, i giuristi e i filosofi del diritto, salvo rare e assai recenti eccezioni, sembrano essere finora entrati, per così dire, in punta di piedi: da un lato ritenendo che non vi fosse lo spazio per individuare uno specifico ruolo del linguaggio metaforico nel discorso giuridico, trattandosi di una modalità del linguaggio ordinario da studiarsi, semmai, nell'ambito di una filosofia generale del linguaggio. Dall'altro, forse, temendo di dare rilevanza ad uno strumento potenzialmente idoneo ad aumentare la vaghezza dei discorsi, in un settore dell'esperienza, quello del diritto, nel quale, invece, lo sforzo dei parlanti dovrebbe sempre andare nella direzione di precisarli. In questo lavoro, l'Autore, seguendo alcuni spunti emersi dalla filosofia del XX secolo, e attraverso il ripensamento della definizione aristotelica di questo tropo, offre un contributo alla riflessione giusfilosofica sulla possibilità di ritrovare il quadro teorico di riferimento per discutere di un fenomeno che, comunque lo si consideri, è presente a tutti i livelli del discorso giuridico

    Questioni pregiudiziali: una prospettiva epistemologica sui rapporti tra neuroscienze e diritto.

    In the last few years the problem of the influence of neuroscientific research on the juridical world has enjoyed a huge amount of interest, though the “neuroscience vs law” approach is sometimes unfold without a previous clarification of the conditions and the limits that permit a legitimate comparison between speeches and social practices (those under the general lables “science” and, respectively, “law”) originated and conducted within theoretical paradigms so distant. In other words, very often the juxtaposition between “neuroscience” and “law”, as well as the speculations built on it, are led leaving unexpressed definitions and theoretical presuppositions about the concepts of “law” and “science” employed, trusting on a share of intuitive common places about something which has been considered “essentially contested” instead. Thus, the aim of this paper is twofold: first, I will critically espose some epistemological issues emerged at the turn of the XX century, focusing on some reactions to the relativistic turn based on the (re-)discovery of the importance of the experimental side of every scientific enterprise. In my opinion, those proposals have given important insights that can help the clarification of a legitimate “scientific riductionism”; then, on those epistemological grounds, I will try to set the stage for a profitable discussion about the extra-theoretical use of scientific propositions, in particular of those generated within current neuroscience researches to deal with specific juridical proble

    Law and Communication in the age of Metaverse

    Accepting the idea that law, in a broad sense, is characterised by the constitutive presence of an articulated set of communicational practices, in this work I will attempt to identify a reference scheme to analyse the transformation induced by the Information technology revolution on legal communication. To this end, first of all, I will present a map of the ways in which the so called Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) affect law; then—through the category of “Metaverse”—I will describe the current state of technological convergence towards a more advanced datafication of human relations; finally, with the help of the reflec- tions proposed by Walter J. Ong on the so-called “secondary orality”, I will attempt to refine the proposed map so that it may constitute a useful heuristic tool for tack- ling the next evolutionary step in legal relationalit

    Legal difficulties for the use of Biometric Data in Artificial Intelligence-based recruitment procedures

    No full text
    Until recently, the use of biometric data has been focused on the problem of establishing personal identity on the double form of “biometric identification” and “identity verification”. This limitation is reflected also in the regulation especially in the European framework based on the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). But the advent of the “data society”, radically changed the picture. Images, videos, software tools to catch and analyse physical traits and behaviour are making biometric data extraction and use much easier. Biometric data can, now, be exploited for uses that go well beyond unique identification. The case of recruiting is paradigmatic, since new possibilities are now open to improve the procedures by means of Artificial Intelligence (AI), but they have to face the uncertainties in the regulation. Thus, in this paper, first I will give a short reference framework about biometrics (§ 2); then I will discuss the relationships between the European General Data Protection Regulation about biometric data and national laws, taking the Italian case as benchmark (§ 3); then I will focus on a specific point in the new European Proposal for a Regulation on Artificial Intelligence, as far as biometric data are concerned, (§ 4), then I will try to suggest an interpretative coordination between these sources of law, offering some concluding remarks (§ 5-6)
