About
In an era of rapid digital transformation, personal identity is no longer limited to passports or usernames—it now includes biometric data, blockchain wallets, AI-generated avatars, and decentralised identifiers. This short course explores the legal and ethical dimensions of digital identity in the context of emerging technologies such as Web3, virtual worlds, and generative AI. Who controls your identity data? What rights do you have over how your likeness, voice, or personal information is used, stored, or replicated? You'll examine data protection laws like GDPR, legal frameworks for consent and control, and the challenges of enforcing rights in decentralised and cross-border systems. Whether you're a developer, designer, policy advisor, or digital citizen, this course offers essential knowledge on navigating identity, privacy, and autonomy in the next phase of the internet. This is a live, tutor-led online course delivered over two days, each session lasting approximately 2 hours. Course start date to be confirmed.
