Cyberworld and Jurisprudence: looking for a golden balance

This paper provides an overview on the "new normal" or "near future society" starting from the most significant events that characterised the evolution and pervasiveness of cyber technology. It is not under question the added value and the achievements due to cyber technology (societal, intellectual, etc.); we look at cyber technology from the humanities side. Posing our focus on processes that have led to governance agreements. Starting from internet governance, ongoing digital transformation to reach AI Governance Ethics and a selection of experiences carried out by international organisations, nations and single states. Digital transformation is reshaping society impacting lifestyles. The desire of decision makers to go digital, sometimes forgetting some wise principles. The goal to digitise as much as possible reaching a cyber-based society relaying on “digital”, this pillar is quite fragile, potentially subject to attacks and suitable for top-down discrimination. Additional potential drawbacks due to lives spent in cyber-bubbles, cyber-mediation of human relations, citizens experience the world thanks to a cyber device mediated approach, mainstream influence on opinion dynamics and nudging. Here it comes the potential role of the Metaverse. Cyber-loneliness, one of the foreseeable risks is a kind of addiction to this “parallel life” training users to shift from real to Meta-life blurring the border between them.
