    Book SynopsisThis timely book presents a detailed analysis of the role of law and regulation in the utilisation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the media sector. As well as contributing to the wider discussion on law and AI, the book also digs deeper by exploring pressing issues at the intersections of AI, media, and the law. Chapters critically re-examine various rights and responsibilities from the perspectives of incentives for accountable utilisation of AI in the industry.Featuring chapters from leading scholars in the field, Artificial Intelligence and the Media provides a timely and in-depth research-based contribution to complex themes - especially at the interface of new technology (including AI) with media and regulation. Analysing both legislative and ethical solutions, chapters explore what “AI” and “accountability” mean in terms of media practices, principles, and power relations, as well as how to address the AI revolution with informed law and policy in order to incentivise accountable utilisation of AI and to reduce negative societal impacts.Offering ideas for further research in the area, this book is key reading for academics and researchers in the fields of information and media law, regulation, and technology law. It may also interest media law practitioners, with research-based guidance for everyday practices and tools to prepare for future developments in the area.Trade Review‘Artificial Intelligence and the Media is an urgently needed contribution to the research on AI and its impacts. While much of the scholarship so far has been field-specific, what makes this volume especially poignant is its multidisciplinary approach to the questions about the roles AI can play for media industries but also for media consumers and users as citizens, and to democracy as a whole.’ -- Minna Aslama Horowitz, University of Helsinki, Finland and St. John's University, USTable of ContentsContents List of contributors vii Introduction to Artificial Intelligence and the Media 1 Taina Pihlajarinne and Anette Alén-Savikko PART I JOURNALISTIC PRINCIPLES AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE 1 Bias, journalistic endeavours, and the risks of artificial intelligence 8 M.R.

  • Forever: A legal sci-fi story

    Anthem Press Forever: A legal sci-fi story

    Out of stock

    Book SynopsisWith the use of artificial intelligence (AI), the border that has traditionally separated fact, or “nonfiction,” and fiction has become increasingly porous. Think of posts on social media by bots pretending to be human, altered photos and videos, including deep fakes. Science-fiction has always held a special place in this divide; it is often the nonfiction of tomorrow. In this book, the author crosses the border in both directions, using fiction to teach the law of AI by asking the reader to follow Christine Jacobs, a law professor, and her students, in discussing what it means to be human in the age of AI, humanoid robots, and cyborgs as her boyfriend prepares the world for what’s next. Crisscrossed by world travel, peppered with fine food and wines, filled with Russian poetry and cinema, and reflections about life and death, this book invites the reader to a world in which technology allows humans to live forever—as long as they are willing to die first.Trade Review“Daniel Gervais has produced something truly new: an amalgam of science fiction and legal education that together comprise a meditation on humanity’s future in a world of pervasive and rapidly advancing artificial intelligence and robotics. Daniel’s story, which is at turns engrossing, profound, learned, funny, and profane, aims ultimately at one eternal question—what makes us human.”—Christopher Jon Sprigman, Murray and Kathleen Bring Professor of Law, Co-Director, Engelberg Center on Innovation Law and Policy, New York University School of Law, USA.“This book is both riveting story and profound.”—The Rt. Hon. Professor Sir Robin Jacob, Faculty of Laws, University College London, UK.“Daniel Gervais, one of the world’s leaders in the field of intellectual property, has created both a fictional approach to AI and a kind of legal casebook. This is an effective and accessible way to encounter and address crucial issues in this critical field.” —Robert Barsky, Guggenheim Fellow (2023), Professor of Humanities and Law, Vanderbilt University, USA.

  • Smart Technologies and the End(s) of Law: Novel

    Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Smart Technologies and the End(s) of Law: Novel

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisDo conceptions of the Rule of Law reflect timeless truths, or are they in fact contingent on a particular information and communications infrastructure - one that we are fast leaving behind? Hildebrandt has engineered a provocative encounter between law and networked digital technologies that cuts to the heart of the dilemma confronting legal institutions in a networked world.'- Julie E. Cohen, Georgetown University, US'Many contemporary authors are wrestling with two technological developments which will change our society beyond recognition: big data analytics and smart technologies. Few though understand, or can explain, these developments in the way Mireille Hildebrandt does. In ambitiously bringing together legal theory, psychology, social ethnology and of course smart agency and ambient intelligence, Hildebrandt gives the most complete study of these vitally important developments. Books are often described as 'must read' though few actually are; this one genuinely is.'- Andrew Murray, London School of Economics, UKThis timely book tells the story of the smart technologies that reconstruct our world, by provoking their most salient functionality: the prediction and preemption of our day-to-day activities, preferences, health and credit risks, criminal intent and spending capacity.Mireille Hildebrandt claims that we are in transit between an information society and a data-driven society, which has far reaching consequences for the world we depend on. She highlights how the pervasive employment of machine-learning technologies that inform so-called 'data-driven agency' threaten privacy, identity, autonomy, non-discrimination, due process and the presumption of innocence. The author argues how smart technologies undermine, reconfigure and overrule the ends of the law in a constitutional democracy, jeopardizing law as an instrument of justice, legal certainty and the public good. Nevertheless, the book calls on lawyers, computer scientists and civil society not to reject smart technologies, explaining how further engaging these technologies may help to reinvent the effective protection of the Rule of Law.Academics and researchers interested in the philosophy of law and technology will find this book both discerning and relevant. Practitioners and policy makers in the areas of law, computer science and engineering will benefit from the insight into smart technologies and their impact today.Trade Review‘Hildebrandt’s book is thought-provoking and a needed contribution to discussions of the impacts of smart technologies.’ -- Beth-Anne Schuelke-Leech, Science and Public Policy‘In this challenging book, Mireille Hildebrandt again shows just how far she thinks ahead of the curve. Exploring the implications of the technological changes that are impelling humans towards an “onlife” world – a world of data-driven agency, the Internet of Things, and a radically different information and communication infrastructure –Hildebrandt asks how law can maintain its mission for justice, certainty and purposiveness. Having joined Hildebrandt in this new world, readers will find it difficult to put the book down.’ -- Roger Brownsword, Kings College London, UK‘In sum, the depth and precision with which Hildebrandt provides her insights is uncommon and striking, making this book (as law professor Andrew Murray remarks in his rear-cover endorsement) one of the few “must reads” within the field. Its content is provocative and challenging, having an appeal that is sure to reach far beyond the field of legal scholarship to accompanying disciplines of computing, science and philosophy from which the book draws. Likewise, it is clear that Hildebrandt benefits from working between the disciplines of law and computer science, with her experience in computer science departments evident in the way in which she sensitively translates between, and explores, the separate logics of law and technology.’ -- SCRIPT-ed‘Do conceptions of the Rule of Law reflect timeless truths, or are they in fact contingent on a particular information and communications infrastructure – one that we are fast leaving behind? Hildebrandt has engineered a provocative encounter between law and networked digital technologies that cuts to the heart of the dilemma confronting legal institutions in a networked world.’ -- Julie E.

Books are often described as “must read” though few actually are; this one genuinely is.’ -- Andrew Murray, London School of Economics, UK‘Mireille Hildebrandt’s deep perception of how law is embedded in a print culture, now combined with her conviction that transformations are called for in relation to the emerging digital-electronic culture underlies this innovative book. Both a philosopher and lawyer, she is a forefront thinker concerned with smart and robotic technologies. Her addition of how Japanese language and culture shows such an interesting variant on these technologies is a strong plus. Excellent reading.’ -- Don Ihde, Stony Brook University, US‘Hildebrandt’s book is thought-provoking and a needed contribution to discussions of the impacts of smart technologies. It would certainly be useful for a university course in law or courses specifically focused on smart and autonomous systems.’ -- Science and Public PolicyTable of ContentsContents: 1.

  • Face Recognition Technology: Compulsory

    Springer Nature Switzerland AG Face Recognition Technology: Compulsory

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisThis book examines how face recognition technology is affecting privacy and confidentiality in an era of enhanced surveillance. Further, it offers a new approach to the complex issues of privacy and confidentiality, by drawing on Joseph K in Kafka’s disturbing novel The Trial, and on Isaiah Berlin’s notion of liberty and freedom. Taking into consideration rights and wrongs, protection from harm associated with compulsory visibility, and the need for effective data protection law, the author promotes ethical practices by reinterpreting privacy as a property right. To protect this right, the author advocates the licensing of personal identifiable images where appropriate.The book reviews American, UK and European case law concerning privacy and confidentiality, the effect each case has had on the developing jurisprudence, and the ethical issues involved. As such, it offers a valuable resource for students of ethico-legal fields, professionals specialising in image rights law, policy-makers, and liberty advocates and activists.Table of Contents

  • Multidisciplinary Perspectives on Artificial Intelligence and the Law

    Springer International Publishing AG Multidisciplinary Perspectives on Artificial Intelligence and the Law

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisThis open access book presents an interdisciplinary, multi-authored, edited collection of chapters on Artificial Intelligence (‘AI’) and the Law. AI technology has come to play a central role in the modern data economy. Through a combination of increased computing power, the growing availability of data and the advancement of algorithms, AI has now become an umbrella term for some of the most transformational technological breakthroughs of this age. The importance of AI stems from both the opportunities that it offers and the challenges that it entails. While AI applications hold the promise of economic growth and efficiency gains, they also create significant risks and uncertainty. The potential and perils of AI have thus come to dominate modern discussions of technology and ethics – and although AI was initially allowed to largely develop without guidelines or rules, few would deny that the law is set to play a fundamental role in shaping the future of AI.As the debate over AI is far from over, the need for rigorous analysis has never been greater. This book thus brings together contributors from different fields and backgrounds to explore how the law might provide answers to some of the most pressing questions raised by AI. An outcome of the Católica Research Centre for the Future of Law and its interdisciplinary working group on Law and Artificial Intelligence, it includes contributions by leading scholars in the fields of technology, ethics and the law.

    Peter Lang AG Analoges Recht in der digitalen Welt: Braucht das

    Out of stock

    Book SynopsisDie Frage, ob das BGB den Herausforderungen der Digitalisierung noch gerecht werden kann, steht im Mittelpunkt dieser Publikation. Um dem auf den Grund zu gehen, untersucht der Autor den Begriff digitale Inhalte, der seit Umsetzung der Verbraucherrechterichtlinie im BGB zu finden ist. Mithilfe einer Kategorisierung der Erscheinungsformen digitaler Inhalte ordnet er diese vertragstypologisch zu. Mit dem so gefundenen Ergebnis macht der Autor legislative Vorschläge für eine alternative rechtliche Handhabbarkeit. Dabei nimmt er auch den von der Europäischen Kommission vorgelegten Vorschlag für eine spezielle Richtlinie für digitale Inhalte in den Blick und verbindet mit ihm die Zuversicht, dass es sich dabei um ein sinnvolles Update für das BGB handeln könnte.

    Book SynopsisThis book introduces the Internet of Things (IoT), which is the convergence of connecting people, things, data and processes; it is transforming our life, business and everything in between. By 2025, experts forecast that up to 75 billion devices will be connected to the Internet with only one third of them being computers, smartphones, smartwatches, and tablets. The remaining two thirds will be other "devices" – sensors, terminals, household appliances, thermostats, televisions, automobiles, production machinery, urban infrastructure and many other "things", which traditionally have not been Internet enabled. This "Internet of Things" (IoT) represents a remarkable transformation of the way in which our world will soon interact. Much like the World Wide Web connected computers to networks, and the next evolution mobile devices connected people to the Internet and other people, IoT looks poised to interconnect devices, people, environments, virtual objects and machines in ways that only science fiction writers could have imagined.Table of Contents1.

  • Electronic Signatures: Authentication Technology

    T.M.C. Asser Press Electronic Signatures: Authentication Technology

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisThe contention that the provision of European Directives on functional legal requirements for digital signature validity solves a core problem of electronic commerce can at best be called naïve. The catch-phrase ‘what holds off line, holds online’ may be in tune with a general emotion towards the invasion of information technology into business; in this book it is made clear that there are no simple shortcuts for the lawyer who is concerned with authenticated digital transactions.The author first sets out to describe the main aspects of authentication technologies, presenting the technical insights needed to get to the legal semantics of functional equivalence between traditional and digital signatures. The second part of his research focuses on the usability of authentication technology and what it entails for its users. Aspects considered are: qualification as electronic signature; limitations of electronic signatures; the electronic signature as evidence; alternatives to electronic signatures; liability and the burden of proof; and, last but not least, privacy concerns.The research for this book is based on an in-depth literature study and interviews with highly qualified experts in the field. It provides valuable tools and background information not only for everyone active in or setting out on e-business in its widest concept, but also for practising lawyers and students of information technology.Dr. Maurice Schellekens is a senior researcher at the Center for Law, Public Administration and Informatization of Tilburg University. He specializes in technology law, with a special emphasis on ICT and law.This is Volume 5 in the Information Technology and Law (IT&Law) SeriesTrade Review"Electronic Signatures is a slim volume, but not one that can be taken up lightly. It is solidly researched and maintains a healthy balance between larger principles and specific applications." The Law and Politics Book Review, Philip A. Dynia, Loyola University New Orleans"In all, Electronic Signatures has many informative features. The abbreviations in the beginning of the book offer a quick reference guide for literature in this area. Outlines at the start of each chapter are also quite helpful. The book is divided into clear sections and subsections with appropriate headings. The author uses easily understood language and deals well with the legal issues."
