How AI, machine learning and ChatGPT are changing the legal system

One of the areas where technology law is likely to see development in South Africa is the regulation of data privacy. The Protection of Personal Information Act (PoPIA) protects personal information and regulates the processing of personal data. However, with the rise of big data and the increasing use of technology in various industries, the legal framework surrounding data privacy will likely evolve in the coming years. This may include changes to PoPIA itself, as well as new legislation and case law that addresses emerging issues in data protection. Another area where tech law will likely see development is regulating artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning.
