The development of artificial intelligence (AI) will change the world as we know it. Philosophers, ethicists and lawyers need to work together and make inquiries into the implication of AI in order to develop guidelines and normative frameworks for those who actually design systems that display intelligent behaviour in some sense. In that connection fundamental rights are of particular importance for the technological development. If AI shall serve mankind, it must abide by the basic legal standards for human beings.In June 2018 experts in the fields of philosophy, ethics, legal-philosophy, European Union (EU) law, information technology (IT) law, intellectual property rights (IPR) law and social science met for an international and interdisciplinary workshop in Sweden at Stockholm University. At the end of the conference the participants agreed to benefit from the momentum generated at the workshop and compile the work in an anthology.

Den här boken presenterar ämnet medierätt huvudsakligen utifrån tre praktiska frågeställningar: hur marknadsaktörer skyddar sina tillgångar, hur aktörer får kommunicera till allmänheten, och hur kundinformation får användas och analyseras. För att belysa dessa tre frågeställningar diskuteras det juridiska ramverket inom tre områden - immaterialrätt, marknadsrätt och integritetsskydd.Efter en kort introduktion till ämnet juridik presenteras yttrandefrihet och dess gränser, samt hur reklam bör utformas för att följa god sed. Därefter diskuteras hur marknadsaktörer kan rättsligt skydda sina produkter genom immaterialrätt - varumärke, upphovsrätt och mönster. Relaterade ämnen som kortfattat presenteras är patent, företagshemligheter, konkurrensrätt, och avtalsrätt. Avslutningsvis diskuteras integritetsaspekter och rättsliga krav när kunddata hanteras.Boken är främst avsedd för undervisningsändamål med utgång i kurser vid svenska lärosäten. Boken är förhoppningsvis även av värde för yrkesverksamma inom exempelvis datavetenskap, marknadskommunikation och produktutveckling.

Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this practical guide to cyber law – the law affecting information and communication technology (ICT) – in   the Sweden covers every aspect of the subject, including intellectual property rights in the ICT sector, relevant competition rules, drafting and negotiating ICT-related contracts, electronic transactions, privacy issues, and computer crime. Lawyers who handle transnational matters will appreciate the detailed explanation of specific characteristics of practice and procedure.

Following  a general introduction, the book assembles its information and guidance in seven main areas of practice: the regulatory framework of the electronic communications market; software protection, legal protection of databases or chips, and other intellectual property matters; contracts with regard to software licensing and network services, with special attention to case law in this area; rules with regard to electronic evidence, regulation of electronic signatures, electronic banking, and electronic commerce; specific laws and regulations with respect to the liability of network operators and service providers and related product liability; protection of individual persons in the context of the processing of personal data and confidentiality; and the application of substantive criminal law in the area of ICT.

Its succinct yet scholarly nature, as well as the practical quality of the information it provides, make this book a valuable time-saving tool for business and legal professionals alike. Lawyers representing parties with interests in the Sweden will welcome this very useful guide, and academics and researchers will appreciate its value in the study of comparative law in this relatively new and challenging field.
