Peaceful use and conflicts in the Arctic: the case of the Svalbard Treaty
The Svalbard Treaty (1920) ensures Norwegian sovereignty over the Svalbard archipelago while requiring equal treatment of companies from other member states in their resource exploitation. Disputes surrounding the interpretation of the treaty in recent times have primarily been linked to whether the Svalbard Treaty also applies to the sea areas. How should Svalbard be governed to ensure peaceful utilization and environmental protection in a fragile area?

AI and copyright law: AI models trained on literary and artistic works
Generative AI such as large language models and picture generators, are often developed using literary or artistic works protected by copyright. To some extent, development of AI is facilitated in the EU by the rules on text and data mining in the Directive on Copyright in the Digital Single Market (2017/1790). However, these rules were not developed for generative AI services, and it is therefore highly unclear what are the consequences of using AI services developed by unlawful use of copyright protected works.
