This book provides an in-depth overview of what is currently happening
in the field of Law and Artificial Intelligence (AI). From deep fakes
and disinformation to killer robots, surgical robots, and AI lawmaking,
the many and varied contributors to this volume discuss how AI could and
should be regulated in the areas of public law, including constitutional
law, human rights law, criminal law, and tax law, as well as areas of
private law, including liability law, competition law, and consumer
law.
Aimed at an audience without a background in technology, this book
covers how AI changes these areas of law as well as legal practice
itself. This scholarship should prove of value to academics in several
disciplines (e.g., law, ethics, sociology, politics, and public
administration) and those who may find themselves confronted with AI in
the course of their work, particularly people working within the legal
domain (e.g., lawyers, judges, law enforcement officers, public
prosecutors, lawmakers, and policy advisors).
