International Handbook of AI Law
In recent years, the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has seen remarkable advances, revolutionizing how we live, work, and interact with technology. As AI systems grow increasingly sophisticated and autonomous, they raise new and challenging legal questions, particularly regarding AI-specific risks associated with automated systems. This indispensable handbook, written in clear language by international experts from all over the world, sheds light on the complex relationship between AI and the law, covering both existing laws and emerging AI-specific legal regulations. Beginning with a comprehensive and insightful technical analysis of how AI works, subsequent chapters cover a wide arra...
A Critical Appraisal of Initial Coin Offerings
In A Critical Appraisal of Initial Coin Offerings: Lifting the “Digital Token’s Veil”, Dominika Nestarcova examines the regulatory treatment of initial coin offerings (‘ICOs’), a novel form of raising capital, where start-up companies issue blockchain-based assets (‘digital tokens’) to the public in return for a payment. The ICO model promises to utilize blockchain technology to enforce financial contracting via the underlying code, thereby substituting the traditional securities regulation. Dominika Nestarcova provides an in-depth analysis of this promise by examining the nature of digital tokens, the process, underlying benefits and risks to the model and the current state of the ICO regulation with an aim to uncover how the self-regulatory promise offered by ICOs lives up the expectations.
Personal Data in Competition, Consumer Protection and Intellectual Property Law
This book analyses the legal approach to personal data taken by different fields of law. An increasing number of business models in the digital economy rely on personal data as a key input. In exchange for sharing their data, online users benefit from personalized and innovative services. But companies’ collection and use of personal data raise questions about privacy and fundamental rights. Moreover, given the substantial commercial and strategic value of personal data, their accumulation, control and use may raise competition concerns and negatively affect consumers. To establish a legal framework that ensures an adequate level of protection of personal data while at the same time provid...
Liabilities and Modern Artificial Intelligence
This book addresses how private law liability should be assigned in contexts where modern forms of AI are deployed. AI as a technology holds the potential to radically improve global society, yet the pace of its advancement far outstrips the pace at which legal systems are responding. This book explores legal approaches to AI, how AI should be legally characterised, and proposes an overarching theoretical liability framework termed the Tri-Phase AI Liability Model. This framework is flexible in nature and considers the type of AI, the context in which it is deployed, who has the most control over the AI system and the capacity of a deployed AI. In response, this book brings greatly needed clarity to the evolving landscape of AI governance, aiding in resolving existing and emerging private law challenges. This book is a timely response to the urgent need to resolve private law liabilities and will appeal to legal professionals, policy makers, and scholars looking to understand or contribute to the current and future governance of AI within private law.
Adapting the EU Civil Liability Regime to the Digital Age: Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, and Other Emerging Technologies
This book highlights the challenges that artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, the Internet of Things (IoT), and other emerging digital technologies pose to existing EU and national liability legislation, while also tracing the evolution of the relevant EU policy and legal framework. Recognising that Member States’ current national fault-based liability rules are ill-suited to handle compensation claims for AI-related harm, the book emphasises the difficulty victims face in proving fault and causation due to AI’s unique characteristics, such as autonomy and opacity (“black box” effect). Similarly, the current Product Liability Directive (PLD) has several shortcomings: certain produ...
The Law and Governance of Decentralised Business Models
This book draws together themes in business model developments in relation to decentralised business models (DBMs), sometimes referred to as the ‘sharing’ economy, to systematically analyse the challenges to corporate and organisational law and governance. DBMs include business networks, the global supply chain, public–private partnerships, the platform economy and blockchain-based enterprises. The law of organisational forms and governance has been slow in responding to changes, and reliance has been placed on innovations in contract law to support the business model developments. The authors argue that the law of organisations and governance can respond to changes in the phenomenon o...
Intellectual Property and Emerging Technologies
This book evaluates issues and challenges emerging from the interaction between intellectual property (IP) and new technologies, namely artificial intelligence (AI), big data, social media, internet of things (IoT), metaverse, blockchain, video gaming, and voice cloning. New technologies have not only shaken the current IP system but show the limits of a framework which was designed more than three centuries ago. As technological innovations have rendered some established IP rules and principles difficult to apply, new approaches are required to adequately respond to ensuing challenges. This volume uses existing case studies and prevailing court decisions to underline the dynamic of the current system. It proposes adjustments to accommodate new technologies within the current IP structure. The book reflects on the challenges created by new technologies and explores alternative ways to respond to these issues. This book will assist IP experts, academics, professionals, and policy makers in their undertakings to understand various issues generated by new technologies. It will also be of interest to researchers in the field of IP law and the law of emerging technologies.
