Child Pornography in Hungarian Criminal Law...
Child pornography; child sexual abuse material; artificial intelligence; criminal investigation; Hungarian criminal law
This article examines the Hungarian offence of child pornography from criminal-law, criminological, comparative-law, and technological perspectives. It outlines the development of the Hungarian legal framework under the influence of international and European norms, and compares it with the regulation in Germany, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Japan. The article also argues that the term paedophile is often used inaccurately in legal and public discourse, since not all offenders involved in child pornography cases fall within that clinical category. Against this background, it considers whether artificial-intelligence-based image recognition may assist criminal investigations involving child sexual abuse material. It concludes that such systems may be legally and practically useful in Hungary, provided that they remain subject to clear statutory regulation, meaningful human oversight, and strict data-protection safeguards.

Regulatory Approaches to Fintech and the Challenges of Fintech-Regulation on Example of Slovakia
FinTech Regulation, Slovakia, National Bank of Slovakia (NBS), Regulatory Sandbox, Markets in Crypto-assets Regulation (MiCAR)
The article summarizes existing regulatory approaches to FinTech-based financial innovation. In this context, it is important to point out that, in general, there is no legal regulation at the EU level that would impose on Member States which regulatory approach they should choose and apply in relation to FinTech. The choice of the appropriate regulatory approach is therefore left to the Member States. Against this background, the author identifies the regulatory approach to FinTech applied in the Slovak Republic, while the platforms for institutional dialogue between the national regulator (National Bank of Slovakia) and FinTech companies are analyzed separately. The article also illustrates the regulatory trend within the EU that may prove decisive for the field of FinTech by reference to a specific regulatory instrument (the EU Regulation on Markets in Crypto-assets – MiCAR).
