Keywords:
Metaverse, AI, Legal Hurdles, Challenges, Online Economy, Ethics, Human Rights, Virtual Worlds, Collaboration between AI and Humans.Abstract
The digital world is growing, unfolding into what we now call the metaverse, where artificial intelligence (AI) and human lives intertwine more deeply than ever. This study ventures into the new legal landscapes this change is creating, investigating the tough issues, and promising prospects arising from AI working side-by-side with humans in this emerging space. We use a detailed, qualitative approach to examine crucial legal dilemmas, such as how we represent ourselves, protect our private information, maintain rights over virtual possessions, uphold agreements, and address wrongdoing within the metaverse. At the same time, we spotlight how this digital expansion can make legal systems more efficient, justice more accessible, online economies more vibrant, and learning about law more interactive. In scholarly terms, this paper highlights the pressing need for solid legal structures tailored to the metaverse's unique environment. It stresses the importance of global teamwork, ethical thinking, and ensuring that technological progress respects human rights. The work reflects on the deep impact on society, emphasizing a need to balance tech growth with safeguarding human respect and privileges. The paper admits its own boundaries, due to the ever-changing nature of the metaverse, and suggests more research from various fields for a complete picture. In conclusion, it's a wake-up call for legal thinkers, rule-makers, tech experts, and moral philosophers to join forces and guide the development of a fair, balanced, and flourishing metaverse.
