Artificial Intelligence Law

About this book:

Artificial Intelligence Law is a book clarifying the controversial issues surrounding the use of AI and exploring in great detail how, far from being “unregulated,” the creation, distribution, and operation of AI systems currently is, and will remain, subject to a vast array of existing laws and regulations all over the world. It is inevitable, given the enormous media-driven concern generated by the recent application of artificial intelligence (AI) to an ever-expanding spectrum of day-to-day human experience, that the need for a clearly articulated legal response has become imperative.

What’s in this book:

Establishing undoubtedly that the traditional concepts of legal responsibility, including duty of care, negligence, and compensation for damages, will always apply to those humans who create and/or use artificially intelligent things or systems, the author shows how AI systems are clearly implicated in numerous existing legal regimes, including the following:

• relevant provisions under international law and EU law;
• applicable provisions in the laws of the United States, the United Kingdom, France, China, India, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore; and
• numerous national provisions in the legal fields of health and safety, intellectual property, competition, privacy and data protection, and military engagement.

However, given the lack of international consensus on this crucial issue, the author suggests that any worldwide agreement on the legal responsibilities relating to the use of AI will need to be carefully defined and that provisions will need to be reviewed to determine how they will apply to any new range of artificially intelligent creations.

How this will help you:

This book aims to review those worldwide legal concepts that govern the application of AI and comment on modifications or extensions of the rule of law that are being proposed as necessary to serve and protect humanity with the expanding applications of AI. Anyone who uses or is affected by AI products must understand the relationship between existing laws and regulations in major markets globally and those areas where initial regulations may be required. This book will prove an essential guide for them, their counsel, and the various policy and regulatory authorities confronted with AI issues.
