This contribution introduces a structured analysis of the implementation of Articles 18-23 of the Directive on Copyright in the Digital Single Market in Sweden.• With the starting point in the legislative proposal brought forth by the Swedish Government, which details how to transpose the Directive into the national copyright legislation, we discuss the implementation of the principle of fair remuneration of authors and performers in exploitation contracts.• We then present how this legislative proposal gives rise to several controversies and possible discrepancies between the text and the Directive, which might arise on the coattails of the implementation of the Directive in Sweden.• Lastly, we introduce our concern that the Directive could be interpreted in a way that allows for national considerations and legislative choices that may lead to even more differences in copyright protection within the Member States.in its wake, with connection to certain licensing practices, uses of works (including cross-border use) and of other subject matter that are created, produced, distributed and exploited in the digital environment. 4 The Government

The future belongs to rapidly evolving technologies. The most fascinating and capable of revolutionising legal industry is likely to be with the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI). It will be the main driver of changes in the legal profession. In the digital world of the future, human lawyers will need to demonstrate emotional intelligence and a deep understanding of how technology can help them to provide better services. These qualities and skills will undoubtedly be just as valuable as formal legal knowledge. The lawyers of tomorrow should focus on cooperating with AI, making sure it is developed and used legally, so as to augment their services rather than fearing being replaced by it. The future partner of law firms may be the leader of a multi-disciplinary team of professionals in which AI is substantially used. Legal teams consisting of people and AI could be a dynamic and very effective structure where humans have an important role to play thanks to their unique features and abilities: intellective judgment, empathy, creativity and adaptability.
