Legal Nature of Smart Applications
Abstract
Technologies involving smart applications are progressively assuming a more pivotal role in modern human life. The robust advancements of the internet, mobile technologies, and artificial intelligence have rendered a burgeoning development of smart applications imbued with such emerging technologies. A smart application denotes a program or application that can operate independently, without human intervention; perceive environmental variables, information, and data; and then render an intelligent response consistent with human applications. Similar to a traditional application, a smart application is interpreted as a sequence of programmed instructions that perform particular tasks. However, the instructions in a smart application not only command but also empower it to think and learn like a human through AI algorithms, thus cogitating, conceiving, decision making, and self-evolving.

Many virtual worlds rely on an internet connection to connect players to each other through visual and audio communication or communication via instant messages through the game. Among the currently widespread worlds are those that focus on murder, bloodshed, drugs, indecent and pornographic materials, and training to commit crimes such as theft or illegal collection of money.
