Emilie van den Hoven – författare

In a world that is rapidly becoming ever-more computable and computed, Professor Mireille Hildebrandt has dedicated the latter part of her prolific career to examining the (in)computabilities of life and the law. In this edited volume, the conversation on the compatibility of the digital and the legal continues.The book brings together eminent scholars from around the world who have been inspired by Hildebrandt’s work, both before and after its 'computational turn'. In each chapter, the authors reflect on novel and important questions, prompted by her academic scholarship and approach. Ranging from contributions on the regulation of Generative AI, automated cars, reflections on the state of AI ethics and data protection law, to the nature and importance of human judgement and the incomputability of fundamental rights, the subjects under discussion in this volume need our urgent attention.Rooted firmly in her intellectual and academic history in criminal law, environmental law and philosophy, Mireille Hildebrandt has led the charge in finding out what it means to count as a human being in the era of computational 'law'. Her work serves as a poignant reminder that the fight for legal protection and the rule of law continues in the digital age.
