Abstract
Law could be compared with time by taking into consideration certain characteristics such as duration, memory, and the future. In fact, law represents a bond between different generations, benefiting from experience to create or modify laws and regulations in line with trends and social changes. This paper attempts to conceptualise the concept of "algorithmic entropy" according to Ballesteros's thought, in particular his reflections on legal temporality and the centrality attributed to the dignity of the person as the basic foundation of the legal order. Ultimately, the aim is to study the intergenerational crisis considering the development of artificial intelligence.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
