On behalf of the President of Yarmouk University, the Vice President for Academic Affairs, Professor Mousa Rababah sponsored launching the "Fourth Industrial Revolution from a Legal Perspective: Challenges and Solutions" conference, which was organized by the Faculty of Law, with the participation of researchers and lawyers from seven Arab countries. Rababah said that the Fourth Industrial Revolution put the labor market to the test setting humans as its focus, which necessitates that humans possess renewable knowledge to be able to engage in an accelerated technological world, pointing out that the wheel of the Fourth Industrial Revolution is moving at a rapid pace and that its effects on institutions and governments are great. He then stressed the need for jurists to play their active role in facing the challenges and problems that emanate from employing the data of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, indicating that the legal framing of thorny issues resulting from the repercussions of the Fourth Industrial Revolution has become an important matter that cannot be overlooked. Moreover, Rababah stressed that Yarmouk has taken it upon itself to catch up with technological developments, taking the royal vision as its starting point with the aim of improving the educational process.

The Dean of the Faculty, Dr. Youssef Obeidat, stressed that the organization of this conference came to answer a set of questions, including: Does the current national and international legislative system fully and adequately cover the effects cast as a result of the Fourth Industrial Revolution? Are the traditional legal rules sufficient to face the data of the Fourth Industrial Revolution? Do we need to refine these rules and make them more compatible with these developments? He then pointed out that the term Fourth Industrial Revolution first appeared in 2016 at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, where robotics, artificial intelligence, nanotechnology, biotechnology, the Internet of Things, three-dimensional printing and autonomous vehicles got addressed as the most prominent models of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Obeidat also said that the Fourth Industrial Revolution has become an inevitable part of the reality of societies and a tangible phenomenon that no one can ignore, highlighting a set of challenges related to human rights, intellectual property rights, human body integrity, cybersecurity, and crimes resulting from the technologies of this revolution. Moreover, He stressed that the Faculty of Law maintains the covenant in dealing with topics dictated by developments in an attempt to consolidate legal culture as a life requirement in society.
