- Advanced artificial Intelligence and robo-justice by Georgios I. ZekosISBN: 9783030982058Publication Date: 2022The book deals with digital technology which is transforming the landscape of dispute resolution. It illustrates the application of AI in the legal field and shows the future prospect of robo-justice for an AAI society in the advanced artificial intelligence era. In other words, the present justice system and the influence of current AI upon courts and arbitration are investigated. The transforming role of AI on all legal fields is examined thoroughly by giving answers concerning AI legal personality and liability. The analysis shows that digital technology is generating an ever-growing number of disputes and at the same time is challenging the effectiveness and reach of traditional dispute resolution avenues. To that extent, the book presents in tandem the impact of AI upon courts and arbitration, and reveals the role of AAI in generating a new robo-justice system. Finally, the end of the perplexing relation of courts and arbitration is evidenced methodically and comprehensively.
- AI-systems and non-contractual liability: A European private international law analysis by Benedetta CappielloISBN: 9788892170018Publication Date: 2022"This book will focus on the non-contractual obligations which arise within the European Union (hereinafter “EU”) out of the development and use of AI-systems. More precisely, as for the civil liability regime the advent of AI is about to lead to a paradigm shift in the allocation of liability throughout the production chain. Namely, the question has become how to ascertain who is liable for what; the opacity of AI-systems – especially those engaging with machine learning techniques – can make it extremely difficult to identify who is in control and therefore responsible" -- from Introduction

- Death: New trajectories in law by Marc TrabskyISBN: 9781032119229Publication Date: 2024This book examines how legal institutions reify the value of death in the twenty-first century. Its starting point is that bio-technological innovations have extended life to such an extent that death has become an epistemological problem for legal institutions. It explores how legal definitions of death are subject to the governing logic of economisation, how legal technologies for registering a death reshape what kind of deaths are counted during a pandemic, and how technologies for recycling cadaveric tissue problematise the legal status of the corpse. The question that unites each chapter is how legal institutions respond to technologies that bring death before their laws.

- Law 3.0: Rules, regulation and technology by Roger BrownswordISBN: 1003053831Publication Date: 2020Putting technology front and centre in our thinking about law, this book introduces Law 3.0: the future of the legal landscape. Technology not only disrupts the traditional idea of what it is 'to think like a lawyer,' as per Law 1.0; it presents major challenges to regulators who are reasoning in a Law 2.0 mode. As this book demonstrates, the latest developments in technology offer regulators the possibility of employing a technical fix rather than just relying on rules - thus, we are introducing Law 3.0. Law 3.0 represents, so to speak, the state we are in and the conversation that we now need to have, and this book identifies some of the key points for discussion in that conversation. Thinking like a lawyer might continue to be associated with Law 1.0, but from 2020 onward, Law 3.0 is the conversation that we all need to join. And, as this book argues, law and the evolution of legal reasoning cannot be adequately understood unless we grasp the significance of technology in shaping both legal doctrine and our regulatory thinking.
- Law and artificial intelligence: Regulating AI and applying AI in legal practice by Bart Custers (Editor); Eduard Fosch-Villaronga (Editor)ISBN: 9789462655225Publication Date: 2022This 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).

- Legal and ethical challenges of artificial intelligence from an international law perspective by Themistoklis TzimasISBN: 9783030785840Publication Date: 2021This book focuses on the legal regulation, mainly from an international law perspective, of autonomous artificial intelligence systems, of their creations, as well as of the interaction of human and artificial intelligence. It examines critical questions regarding both the ontology of autonomous AI systems and the legal implications: what constitutes an autonomous AI system and what are its unique characteristics? How do they interact with humans? What would be the implications of combined artificial and human intelligence? It also explores potentially the most important questions: what are the implications of these developments for collective security -from both a state-centered and a human perspective, as well as for legal systems? Why is international law better positioned to make such determinations and to create a universal framework for this new type of legal personality? How can the matrix of obligations and rights of this new legal personality be construed and what would be the repercussions for the international community?
- Legal protection insurance and legal technology: The legal framework for offering legal technology with a particular focus on the German market by Constantin Jung; Domenik H. WendtISBN: 9783031165405Publication Date: 2022This book addresses the legal protection insurance market and continues the collection and analysis of data carried out by Legal Protection International aisbl (at the time, the International Association of Legal Protection Insurance) in recent years. Its first part covers the fundamentals of and recent advances in the legal protection insurance market, while the second presents a study on the relevant legal framework for offering Legal Technology services as a legal protection insurer in Germany.

- Legal tech: Information technology tools in the administration of justice by Dariusz Szostek (Editor); Mariusz Zalucki (Editor)ISBN: 3848778793Publication Date: 2021This book offers a comprehensive consideration of the problem of linking the law of new technologies to the work of a lawyer. The authors describe the development of technology and the tendency of technology to enter the domain that until recently was reserved only for lawyers. Today, information systems can not only support the work of the lawyer, but also replace it. In this book, legal issues are weaved with technical issues that have a significant impact on the understanding of the law, but also enable the understanding of processes (including IT) that have a significant impact on the law. The authors also pay attention to the cross-border nature and related issues.
- Multidisciplinary perspectives on artificial intelligence and the law by Henrique Sousa Antunes (Editor); Pedro Miguel Freitas (Editor); Arlindo L. Oliveira (Editor); Clara Martins Pereira (Editor); Elsa Vaz de Sequeira (Editor); Luís Barreto Xavier (Editor)ISBN: 9783031412639Publication Date: 2024This 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 thedebate 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.

- Predictive policing and artificial intelligence by John McDaniel (Editor); Ken Pease (Editor)ISBN: 0429555911Publication Date: 2021This edited text draws together the insights of numerous worldwide eminent academics to evaluate the condition of predictive policing and artificial intelligence (AI) as interlocked policy areas. Predictive and AI technologies are growing in prominence and at an unprecedented rate. Powerful digital crime mapping tools are being used to identify crime hotspots in real-time, as pattern-matching and search algorithms are sorting through huge police databases populated by growing volumes of data in an eff ort to identify people liable to experience (or commit) crime, places likely to host it, and variables associated with its solvability. Facial and vehicle recognition cameras are locating criminals as they move, while police services develop strategies informed by machine learning and other kinds of predictive analytics. Many of these innovations are features of modern policing in the UK, the US and Australia, among other jurisdictions.
- The rule of law in cyberspace by Carlos Blanco de Morais (Editor); Gilmar Ferreira Mendes (Editor); Thomas Vesting (Editor)ISBN: 9783031073762Publication Date: 2022The rule of law in cyberspace currently faces serious challenges.

- Self-imposed algorithmic thoughtlessness and the automation of crime control: A study of person-based predictive policing and the algorithmic turn by Lucia M. SommererISBN: 9783848789009Publication Date: 2022Preventing crime before it happens? This enticing narrative is no longer just science fiction. Computer-aided systems designed to predict criminal behaviour are used worldwide. The author explores the effects of this technology on society from a legal and criminological perspective. She concludes that the technology undermines various constitutional guarantees and poses considerable risks to the rule of law. If the technology is used unreflectively, crime control threatens to move into self-imposed algorithmic thoughtlessness. The book concludes with a proposal for minimum requirements to prevent such developments.
- Sentencing and artificial intelligence by Jesper Ryberg (Editor); Julian V. Roberts (Editor)ISBN: 9780197539538Publication Date: 2022The first collective work devoted exclusively to the ethical and penal theoretical considerations of the use of artificial intelligence at sentencing Is it morally acceptable to use artificial intelligence (AI) in the determination of sentences on those who have broken the law? If so, how should such algorithms be used--and what are the consequences? Jesper Ryberg and Julian V. Roberts bring together leading experts to answer these questions. Sentencing and Artificial Intelligence investigates to what extent, and under which conditions, justice and the social good may be promoted by allocating parts of the most important task of the criminal court--that of determining legal punishment--to computerized sentencing algorithms. The introduction of an AI-based sentencing system could save significant resources and increase consistency across jurisdictions. But it could also reproduce historical biases, decrease transparency in decision-making, and undermine trust in the justice system. Dealing with a wide-range of pertinent issues including the transparency of algorithmic-based decision-making, the fairness and morality of algorithmic sentencing decisions, and potential discrimination as a result of these practices, this volume offers avaluable insight on the future of sentencing.
- Technology, innovation and access to justice: Dialogues on the future of law by Siddharth Peter de Souza (Editor); Maximilian Spohr (Editor)ISBN: 9781474473866Publication Date: 2021While legal technology may bring efficiency and economy to business, where are the people in this process and what does it mean for their lives?Around five billion people globally are unable to address their everyday legal problems and do not have the security, opportunity or protection to redress their grievances and injustices. Courts and legal institutions can often be out of reach because of costs, distance or a lack of knowledge of rights and entitlements and judicial institutions may be under-funded leading to poor judicial infrastructure, inadequate staff, and limited resources to meet the needs of those who require such services.
