Jurisprudence in the digital age: Adapting legal theories to emerging technologies


Author(s): Somya Yadav

Abstract: The digital age has introduced profound changes to the legal landscape, compelling jurisprudence to adapt its theories, principles, and practices to emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain, quantum computing, and biotechnology. This research explores how traditional legal theories—natural law, positivism, legal realism, and critical legal studies—can be reinterpreted in the context of technological advancements. It examines the transformative impact of these innovations on legal systems, addressing challenges such as algorithmic bias, data privacy, liability in autonomous systems, and the ethical considerations of genetic engineering. Furthermore, the paper highlights the role of AI and automation in streamlining legal practices, enhancing access to justice, and revolutionizing dispute resolution mechanisms. Emphasis is placed on the need for proactive and dynamic legal frameworks, ethical governance, and interdisciplinary collaboration to ensure that technological progress aligns with the principles of fairness, equity, and human rights. By proposing recommendations for adapting legal education, fostering global harmonization of laws, and ensuring inclusivity in legal technology, this study underscores the necessity of reimagining jurisprudence for a rapidly evolving world. Ultimately, this research envisions a future where law serves as a stabilizing force, upholding justice in the face of technological disruption while fostering innovation and societal well-being.
