Book SynopsisThis thought-provoking book critically analyses the interaction of innovation, technology and corporate law. It highlights the impact of technology, including artificial intelligence and distributed ledger technology, on corporate governance and form, examining the extent to which technology may enhance or displace conventional theories and practices concerning corporate governance and regulation.Expert contributors from multiple jurisdictions identify themes and challenges that transcend national boundaries and confront the international community as a whole. Chapters investigate corporate form, governance democratisation resulting from the more prevalent use of technology, the introduction of new classes of stakeholders and novel fund-raising activities and the impact of technology on corporate governance and regulatory supervision. Offering theoretical, practical and policy perspectives on the integration of technology with corporate governance and regulation, it provides a key contribution to the broader debate concerning the impact of technology on modern life.This insightful book should stimulate incisive academic discourse and will be of value to students and scholars of corporate, business and technology law. It will also be of benefit to legal practitioners, regulators and policy-makers interested in technological innovation.Trade Review‘This is an illuminating legal guide to the world of self-driving corporations, AI systems as corporate board members, and all the corporate governance challenges that come from the rise of technology. As always, the law plays catch-up, as the technology runs ahead. This collection of thoughtful analyses of the issues will well serve all lawyers who are chasing the technology and attempting to keep up.’ -- Ross P Buckley, KPMG and KWM Professor of Disruptive Innovation, UNSW Sydney, Australia'The breadth of perspectives of this work on technology and corporate law is as impressive as the insightfulness of its contributions. As technology heavily impacts corporate governance practices, organisational forms and the functioning of capital markets, this book deserves its place in the library of anyone with an interest in the present and the future of corporate law.' -- Luca Enriques, Professor of Corporate Law, University of Oxford, UKTable of ContentsContents: Foreword viii Acknowledgements xii 1 Introduction to Technology and Corporate Law 1 Andrew Godwin, Pey Woan Lee and Rosemary Teele Langford PART I CORPORATE FORM 2 Viewing artificial persons in the AI age through the lens of history 21 Susan Watson PART II CORPORATE GOVERNANCE 3 The corporate board in an age of collaborative intelligence and complex risk 43 Helen Bird and Natania Locke 4 Artificial intelligence and corporate boards: some ethical implications 70 Vivienne Brand 5 Data explosion, disclosure and stepping stones 99 Rosemary Teele Langford 6 Recalibrating directors’ liabilities amidst technological flux 126 Pey Woan Lee and Susanna HS Leong PART III GOVERNANCE DEMOCRATISATION 7 Shareholder empowerment in the digital age 152 Pearlie Koh 8 The first step of a long march: dual-class company regulation and the experiment by the sci-tech and innovation board in China 178 Charlie Xiao-chuan Weng, Shangxuan Wu and Zhaohui Shen 9 Corporate governance challenges in initial coin offerings 205 Aurelio Gurrea-Martínez and Nydia Remolina 10 Corporate governance implications of equity crowdfunding 227 Steve Kourabas PART IV DATA ENHANCEMENTS AND ALTERNATIVE MODELS FOR ‘CORPORATE’ GOVERNANCE 11 Corporate disclosure in a technology-enabled world 252 Andrew Godwin 12 Keep your ‘invisible hands’ to yourself: freeing corporate governance from the cult of the ‘efficient market’ 277 David C Donald 13 The advent of decentralised autonomous business networks in the disembodied economy: a discussion on why the governance regimes of corporations and partnerships are unsuitable to them 306 Moshood Abdussalam and Mia Rahim
