Controllable Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Law
This book broaches the newly crafted concept of algorithmic dictatorship that draws on a plethora of human biases that creep into the algorithm and feeds into an automated decision that comes to the expense of citizens´ lives, freedoms, health, property, fair lending, and credit scoring. This book sheds a keen light on the slew of reasons in view of which artificial intelligence should be both interpretable and controllable, as opposed to merely explainable. The reason for that is straightforward: the skewed data baked into the bigoted algorithms—machine biases—spawns harrowing effects with which criminal justice has been grappling for a long-haul/drawn-out. Tallyingly, and perhaps unsu...

Big Data in the Health and Life Sciences
The relevance of big data is not limited to applications in the information technology sector but extends to other important technological fields, such as the increasingly data-driven health and life sciences. Timo Minssen and Jens Schovsbo introduce some of the challenges resulting from the intersection between big data and competition law in health and life sciences. With a focus on European competition law, they describe the increasing relevance of big data and the protection of data in health and life sciences, how these developments relate to European competition law, and what and where the main challenges are. Minssen and Schovsbo consider imperative that the legal issues raised by big data and artificial intelligence are given the highest priority by the European Commission, and they welcome that the Commission devotes efforts and resources to address competition aspects of big data and privacy in order to test whether its jurisdictional criteria are still adequate.
