How drones’ technology may fit in business law: DAOs and the remote employer cases

Jak można zastosować technologię dronową w prawie gospodarczym: DAO i kwestia algorytmicznego zarządzania

The term “drone” has become one of the most cross-disciplinary and interdisciplinary terms in contemporary law discourses. Traditionally, “drone” is used to identify aerial unmanned vehicles; nevertheless, as it will be demonstrated in this research paper, the same word is helpful to describe some phenomena encompassed by business law too. Navigation and space law, company law, and employment law seem to adopt the concept of drone in order to refer to experiences characterised by three elements: opaqueness, remoteness, and technology. In essence, this contribution aims to demonstrate why and how IT law requires an interdisciplinary analysis of legal notions. From space law to business law through company and employment law, “drones of a feather flock together”.

Termin „dron” stał się jednym z pojęć o najszerszym zakresie interdyscyplinarnym we współczesnym dyskursie prawniczym. Choć tradycyjnie odnosi się on do bezzałogowych statków powietrznych, niniejsza praca wykazuje, że termin ten znajduje również zastosowanie w odniesieniu do zjawisk objętych prawem gospodarczym. Prawo lotnicze i kosmiczne, prawo spółek oraz prawo pracy wykorzystują pojęcie drona do opisu sytuacji charakteryzujących się trzema cechami: brakiem przejrzystości, zdalnym charakterem oraz silnym powiązaniem z technologią. Celem niniejszego opracowania jest wykazanie, dlaczego i w jaki sposób prawo technologii informatycznych (IT) wymaga interdyscyplinarnej analizy pojęć prawnych. Od prawa kosmicznego, przez prawo spółek i prawo pracy, aż po szeroko rozumiane prawo gospodarcze – „drony” różnych dziedzin okazują się mieć ze sobą wiele wspólnego.
