Following the global experience of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0), which focused on intelligent automation and relied heavily on Artificial Intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), robotics, and Big Data, the world witnessed machines and smart systems operating independently with minimal human intervention. While this revolution introduced numerous advantages, such as smart factories, robotic manufacturing, AI-driven data analysis and decision-making, and device connectivity via IoT, it also generated significant challenges. These included job shortages due to automation, the weakening of the human role in production processes, and the emergence of legal and ethical dilemmas related to AI usage and privacy concerns.

In response to these challenges, the Fifth Industrial Revolution has emerged, aiming to integrate humans and machines rather than replacing human workers with robots. Its goal is to make technology more human-centric by employing AI to assist rather than substitute humans. This shift has transformed many of the drawbacks of the Fourth Industrial Revolution into new advantages, including human-robot collaboration, enhancing environmental sustainability in manufacturing, utilizing technology to improve human well-being rather than merely maximizing profits, and focusing on human creativity and innovation with the support of AI.

Consequently, the Fifth Industrial Revolution offers solutions to the challenges of the previous era, such as mitigating the negative impact of automation on employment, enhancing quality of life through the integration of technology with human values, and promoting more sustainable and environmentally friendly industries.

In summary, the Fifth Industrial Revolution seeks to balance productivity with human creativity, sustainability, and human-machine interaction. Nevertheless, the various applications of this revolution will inevitably give rise to numerous legal issues that require careful legal responses. Thus, the idea of holding this scientific conference was conceived to achieve three main objective:

To understand and analyze the legal challenges posed by the Fifth Industrial Revolution.1

To provide legal solutions to the issues emerging from the Fifth Industrial Revolution.2

3. To foster dialogue between academics and legal practitioners working within the fields of law and the Fifth Industrial Revolution
