Algorithms permeate our lives in numerous ways, performing tasks that until recently could only be carried out by humans. Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies, based on machine learning algorithms and big-data-powered systems, can perform sophisticated tasks such as driving cars, analyzing medical data, and evaluating and executing complex financial transactions - often without active human control or supervision. Algorithms also play an important role in determining retail pricing, online advertising, loan qualification, and airport security. In this work, Martin Ebers and Susana Navas bring together a group of scholars and practitioners from across Europe and the US to analyze how this shift from human actors to computers presents both practical and conceptual challenges for legal and regulatory systems. This book should be read by anyone interested in the intersection between computer science and law, how the law can better regulate algorithmic design, and the legal ramifications for citizens whose behavior is increasingly dictated by algorithms.

This handbook offers an important exploration of generative AI and its legal and regulatory implications from interdisciplinary perspectives. The volume is divided into four parts. Part I provides the necessary context and background to understand the topic, including its technical underpinnings and societal impacts. Part II probes the emerging regulatory and policy frameworks related to generative AI and AI more broadly across different jurisdictions. Part III analyses generative AI's impact on specific areas of law, from non-discrimination and data protection to intellectual property, corporate governance, criminal law and more. Part IV examines the various practical applications of generative AI in the legal sector and public administration. Overall, this volume provides a comprehensive resource for those seeking to understand and navigate the substantial and growing implications of generative AI for the law.

This book brings together contributions from leading scholars in law and technology, analysing the privacy issues raised by new data-driven technologies.Highlighting the challenges that technology poses to existing European Union (EU) data protection laws, the book assesses whether current legal frameworks are fit for purpose, while maintaining a balance between supporting innovation and the protection of individual’s privacy. Data privacy issues range from targeted advertising and facial recognition, systems based on artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain, and machine-to-machine (M2M) communication, to technologies that enable the detection of emotions and personal care robots.The book will be of interest to scholars, policymakers and practitioners working in the fields of law and technology, EU law and data protection.

This book provides original, diverse, and timely insights into the nature, scope, and implications of Artificial Intelligence (AI), especially machine learning and natural language processing, in relation to contracting practices and contract law. The chapters feature unique, critical, and in-depth analysis of a range of topical issues, including how the use of AI in contracting affects key principles of contract law (from formation to remedies), the implications for autonomy, consent, and information asymmetries in contracting, and how AI is shaping contracting practices and the laws relating to specific types of contracts and sectors. The contributors represent an interdisciplinary team of lawyers, computer scientists, economists, political scientists, and linguists from academia, legal practice, policy, and the technology sector. The chapters not only engage with salient theories from different disciplines, but also examine current and potential real-world applications and implications of AI in contracting and explore feasible legal, policy, and technological responses to address the challenges presented by AI in this field. The book covers major common and civil law jurisdictions, including the EU, Italy, Germany, UK, US, and China. It should be read by anyone interested in the complex and fast-evolving relationship between AI, contract law, and related areas of law such as business, commercial, consumer, competition, and data protection laws.

Algorithms are now widely employed to make decisions that have increasingly far-reaching impacts on individuals and society as a whole (“algorithmic governance”), which could potentially lead to manipulation, biases, censorship, social discrimination, violations of privacy, property rights, and more.

This book gives a comprehensive overview of the state of Artificial Intelligence (AI), especially machine learning (ML) applications in public service delivery in Estonia, discussing the manifold ethical and legal issues that arise under both European and Estonian law.

Dieser Band erhält besondere Aktualität durch den im Februar 2003 von der Europäischen Kommission vorgelegten Aktionsplan "Ein kohärenteres europäisches Vertragsrecht". Vor diesem Hintergrund gehen die Autoren der englischen und deutschen Beiträge der Frage nach, inwieweit aus dem bestehenden Gemeinschaftsrecht, dem sog. Acquis communautaire, verallgemeinerbare Leitlinien für die künftige Entwicklung des europäischen Privatrechts gewonnen werden können. Der Band beruht auf den Ergebnissen einer Tagung, die im Januar 2003 bei der Europäischen Rechtsakademie Trier in Kooperation mit der kürzlich gegründeten Acquis-Group stattgefunden hat. Mit Beiträgen von: Reiner Schulze, Dieter Kraus, Judith Rochfeld, Dimitri Houtcieff, Hans Schulte-Nölke, Thomas Pfeiffer, Silvia Ferreri, Peter Bydlinski, Paulo Mota Pinto, Martin Ebers, Sjef van Erp, Hans Christoph Grigoleit, Matthias E. Storme, Thomas Wilhelmsson, Hans-Peter Schwintowski und Ulrich Magnus.

Obwohl viele Rechtsgebiete mittlerweile harmonisiert worden sind, regeln EU-Rechtsakte häufig nicht die Frage, welche Rechte, Rechtsbehelfe und Sanktionen zur Durchsetzung europäischen Rechts im nationalen Recht vorgesehen werden müssen. Andererseits ist zu beobachten, dass der EuGH den Schutz subjektiver (Unions-)Rechte schrittweise ausgebaut und ein eigenständiges Sanktionssystem aufgestellt hat, das intensiv in die mitgliedstaatlichen Rechtsordnungen eingreift und diese überlagert.Martin Ebers entwickelt vor diesem Hintergrund eine allgemeine Theorie der im Unionsrecht wurzelnden (subjektiven) Rechte. Außerdem wird danach gefragt, wie ein Verstoß gegen Unionsnormen im nationalen (Privat-)Recht sanktioniert werden muss. Besonderes Augenmerk gilt dabei den Grundfreiheiten, dem Kartell- und Beihilferecht sowie dem Antidiskriminierungs- und Verbraucherrecht.
