This open access book focuses on the impact of Artificial Intelligence
(AI) on individuals and society from a legal perspective, providing a
comprehensive risk-based methodological framework to address it.
Building on the limitations of data protection in dealing with the
challenges of AI, the author proposes an integrated approach to risk
assessment that focuses on human rights and encompasses contextual
social and ethical values.
The core of the analysis concerns the assessment methodology and the
role of experts in steering the design of AI products and services by
business and public bodies in the direction of human rights and societal
values.
Taking into account the ongoing debate on AI regulation, the proposed
assessment model also bridges the gap between risk-based provisions and
their real-world implementation.
The central focus of the book on human rights and societal values in AI
and the proposed solutions will make it of interest to legal scholars,
AI developers and providers, policy makers and regulators.
