Metaverso y derecho administrativo
¿es posible asignarle la calidad de administrado a un avatar?
This research aims to address a contemporary issue related to the use of new technologies and the rapid development they generate. In this context, the law cannot remain indifferent to these changes. However, the metaverse continues to be an exceptionally complex scenario for the classical conception of law. Therefore, it is essential to analyze and reflect on the following questions: Where is the law heading? More importantly, what role does administrative law play in this new environment? By examining information and communication technologies (ICTs), we will explore both the classical and cutting-edge dimensions of administrative law to understand how interventions in the field of artificial intelligence—particularly within the metaverse—are currently being addressed. This leads us to the central question posed in the title: Does the avatar possess legal personality? While the answer may seem self-evident, the debate on this matter must necessarily involve administrative law in its role as the guarantor of public interest.
