Resumen

Este artículo analiza el creciente impacto del metaverso en el panorama digital y el sistema jurídico, enfatizando la importancia de que la adaptación legal esté a la altura de los avances tecnológicos. Exploramos la brecha cada vez mayor entre el derecho y la tecnología, redefiniendo normas e instituciones junto con conceptos en evolución como el de personalidad y sociedad civil. El análisis se centra en la regulación del metaverso y sus implicaciones sociales transformadoras, instando a la colaboración interdisciplinaria para comprender sus complejidades. Advertimos contra la inacción, destacando la urgente necesidad de una nueva jurisdicción que salvaguarde los datos personales y los derechos de propiedad. Abogamos por marcos de gobernanza integrales similares a los que abordan el cambio climático, garantizando que las generaciones futuras no enfrenten las repercusiones de nuestra inactividad ni los desafíos que plantea esta desafiante frontera tecnológica.
