Emotional Data Applications And Regulation Of Artificial Intelligence In Society

~~211,34€~~ 190,21€ 10% OFF

 <p>This revolutionary new book on using AI to process human emotion data seeks to raise awareness for the topic, thoroughly discuss it from a multidisciplinary perspective and, by doing so, disseminate research findings that elaborate on the current and future regulatory needs for the responsible and ethical development and application of emotional AI. <br>Biometric and psychological data of humans are the most sensitive data on human behavior. The book’s objective is to provide a holistic understanding of key challenges and propose novel, workable, substantive and methodological solutions for navigating current and future legal and ethical needs and dilemmas regarding the processes of developing and using emotional AI.<br>Although both the academic community and political decision-makers continue to intensively discuss issues in the ethical regulation of AI, there is still a very limited understanding of both the opportunities and the risks in connection with emotional AI specifically. Yet, emotional AI is one of the most promising areas of AI developments and applications. Several of these innovations could be a welcome change in our society, as they could improve our well-being in various ways.<br>That being said, these inventions require considerable investments. Thus, legal incentives such as IPRs are crucial to supporting investment in these fields. Further, these innovations might have negative effects on the privacy and autonomy of natural persons, raising both legal and ethical concerns. Thus, their legal and ethical acceptability, as well as their societal acceptance, might be challenged by several legal provisions in the EU, such as the GDPR; regulations on communications, social platforms, and marketing; and the draft AI Act. Yet, the current legal landscape for emotional AI in Europe is anything but clear - an aspect that becomes even more apparent when we consider the global picture of the regulatory framework for emotional AI. <br>In this book, a diverse team of internationally respected experts addresses these issues, engaging in a multidisciplinary study into techno-economic-legal developments concerning emotional AI, its impacts, and the need for action. The book offers in-depth scientific and societally relevant insights on the past, present and future of AI in general, especially its many implications for law and policy. Although the primary target audience for the book are academics from the field of law, the book also offers sound guidance for legislators and general policymakers, as well as companies and organizations. <br> </p>

Internet Of Things And Eu Law - Cybersecurity, Privacy And Data Protection Challenges

by Pier Giorgio Chiara

~~211,99€~~ 190,79€ 10% OFF

 <p>This book offers a comprehensive and holistic analysis of the cybersecurity, privacy & data protection challenges entailed by IoT devices in EU law. A working definition and three-layered architecture taxonomy of the ‘Internet of Things’ are provided, together with a state-of-the-art threat landscape in which each specific attack is linked to a layer of the IoT taxonomy.</p><p>In a scenario where IoT devices physically interact with individuals, the book disentangles the legal, ethical and technical aspects of the concepts of ‘(cyber)security’ and ‘safety’, as the former now affects the latter more than ever before. To this end, a normative analysis aims to explore the concepts of ‘cybersecurity’, ‘safety’ and ‘privacy’ against the background of the ‘IoT revolution’.</p><p>Building on the outcomes of this normative analysis, the work then addresses from a legal perspective the rapidly evolving EU cybersecurity legal frameworks, particularly taking into account the specific issues related to the IoT, both in terms of technology and the market dynamics of the stakeholders involved. On a different level, the book also investigates three legal challenges raised by the ubiquitous IoT data and metadata processing to EU privacy and data protection laws.</p><p>After having examined the manifold IoT ‘<em>security </em>& <em>privacy’ </em>risks, the discussion focuses on how to <em>assess</em> them, by giving particular attention to the risk management tool enshrined in EU data protection law (i.e., the Data Protection Impact Assessment). Accordingly, an original DPIA methodology for IoT devices is proposed.</p><p>This book will appeal to researchers in IT law, EU cybersecurity & data protection law, and more generally, to anyone interested in finding out how EU cybersecurity and data protection law is responding to the manifold regulatory and compliance issues associated with connected devices.</p>

Adapting The Eu Civil Liability Regime To The Digital Age: Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, And Other Emerging Technologies

by Nikos Th. Nikolinakos

~~145,09€~~ 130,58€ 10% OFF

 <p>This book highlights the challenges that artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, the Internet of Things (IoT), and other emerging digital technologies pose to existing EU and national liability legislation, while also tracing the evolution of the relevant EU policy and legal framework.</p><p>Recognising that Member States’ current national fault-based liability rules are ill-suited to handle compensation claims for AI-related harm, the book emphasises the difficulty victims face in proving fault and causation due to AI’s unique characteristics, such as autonomy and opacity ("black box" effect). Similarly, the current Product Liability Directive (PLD) has several shortcomings: certain products, economic actors, and types of damage in the digital and circular economy are not covered under strict liability; proving defectiveness and establishing a causal link with damage, especially for complex products, is often challenging; in addition, liability claims are subject to restrictive limits and thresholds.</p><p>The book discusses in detail the European Commission’s proposal for a Directive on harmonising civil liability rules for damage caused by AI systems (the ‘proposed AI Liability Directive’). It also offers a thorough analysis of the European Commission’s proposal for a revised Product Liability Directive, compares it with the positions of the Council of the EU and the European Parliament, and discusses the final text approved by the Plenary of the European Parliament in March 2024.</p><p>The book incorporates comments from various parties, offering insights into the approaches of EU institutions and the conflicting interests among stakeholders. Presenting carefully grounded arguments, this volume serves as a valuable resource for understanding the interplay between policy and law within the new EU liability framework for AI and other innovative products. This forthcoming EU regime represents a significant shift in the liability landscape, potentially heightening litigation risks. Its success will depend on achieving the EU’s overarching objective: ensuring fair compensation while fostering technological innovation.</p>

Disconnecting Sovereignty - How Data Fragmentation Reshapes The Law

by Mariavittoria Catanzariti

~~145,74€~~ 131,17€ 10% OFF

 <p>This book explores the dynamic legal semantics of territory as applied to data. It offers a theoretical assessment of the legal challenges that data flows pose for the principle of territoriality and for state sovereignty more generally. The concept of sovereignty has traditionally developed in close connection with the exercise of powers over a territory, and ideas of jurisdiction have always been based on the principle of territoriality. Digitalization questions however the very idea of physical frontiers. Interconnected networks make data in effect borderless. Data can in fact be created, stored, processed, and accessed anytime and from anywhere.</p><p> </p><p>The idea of the book is upbeat: the law can keep pace with the ability of data to fragment reality. The condition for this is that sovereignty disconnects from territory. Disconnection is not getting rid of the territory once and for all, it only means that for data alternatives to the territorial connection exist.</p><p> </p><p>The analysis focuses on data from a holistic perspective (personal and nonpersonal) with the aim of investigating divergent and convergent solutions provided by different branches of the law (data protection, IP law, international law, and fundamental rights protection). It assesses in particular, the relationships between digitalization and the principle of territoriality, focusing on the specific legal aspects: the connections between law and territory; the impact of digitalization on state sovereignty; the use of extraterritoriality to circumvent territorial limitations on data flows; the rise of digital jurisdiction and its challenges; the interplay between digital jurisdiction and state sovereignty, and the alternative technological and legal solutions to data localization.</p>

Legal Developments On Cybersecurity And Related Fields

~~211,34€~~ 190,21€ 10% OFF

 <div>This book presents a fresh approach to cybersecurity issues, seeking not only to analyze the legal landscape of the European Union and its Member States, but to do so in an interdisciplinary manner, involving scholars from diverse backgrounds - ranging from legal experts to ICT and engineering professionals.</div><div><br></div><div>Cybersecurity requirements must be understood in a broader context, encompassing not just conventional aspects, but also emerging topics. This can only be achieved through an interdisciplinary approach. Indeed, cybersecurity should be consistently considered in relation to cybercrime and/or cyber defense, while examining it through the lens of specific domains that are intertwined with various legal fields. Moreover, it is crucial to uphold ethical standards and safeguard fundamental rights, particularly regarding personal data protection.</div><div><br></div><div>By adopting this comprehensive perspective, the significance of cybersecurity in the exercise of public authority becomes apparent. It also plays an essential role in upholding the fundamental values of both individual Member States and the EU as a whole, such as the rule of law. Moreover, it fosters trust, transparency, and effectiveness in market relations and public administration interactions.</div><div><br></div><div>In turn, the book draws on the expertise of its authors to provide insights into ICT components and technologies.

Copyright As A Constraint On Creating Technological Value

by Kasper Drazewski

~~171,59€~~ 154,43€ 10% OFF

 <div>Can we regulate something that doesn’t exist yet? Can Europe create its own Silicon Valley? Who gets to create technological value in today’s world? Whatever happened to the once-flourishing idea of rags to riches? Will new and exciting innovations only ever come from big tech companies? Can the EU establish its own flexible framework for boosting innovation, e.g. by facilitating the transformative use of technologies and data?</div><div>This book seeks to answer these questions by exploring the differences in copyright culture in Europe and the United States, with its flexible fair use framework. The findings are anything but obvious, and decades of case law on both sides of the Atlantic tell a story of judges going to great lengths to deal with new challenges while navigating the imperfections of statutory law - both where it is too broadly formulated and where it is too prescriptive.</div><div>How can the population’s creative potential best be fostered? What do software innovations have in common with the evolution of living organisms? What are the vulnerabilities of distributed creativity? Answers are sought in the processes that came into being during the early years of the digital revolution and were then forced to take a back seat as control of the means of production was increasingly placed in the hands of tech companies. </div><div>The findings and insights presented here are highly relevant for today’s digital policymaking. Market concentration processes in innovation haven’t ceased; they are ongoing. And in an age where data-driven services are creating and reinforcing global oligopolies, the question posed by the U.S. Supreme Court in <i>Google v. Oracle </i>is now more relevant than ever: who should hold the keys to digital innovation?</div><div><br></div>

Censorship From Plato To Social Media - The Complexity Of Social Media’S Content Regulation And Moderation Practices

by Gergely Gosztonyi

~~185,49€~~ 166,94€ 10% OFF

 In many countries, censorship, blocking of internet access and internet content for political purposes are still part of everyday life. Will filtering, blocking, and hacking replace scissors and black ink? This book argues that only a broader understanding of censorship can effectively protect freedom of expression.<p>For centuries, church and state controlled the content available to the public through political, moral and religious censorship. As technology evolved, the legal and political tools were refined, but the classic censorship system continued until the end of the 20th century. However, the myth of total freedom of communication and a law-free space that had been expected with the advent of the internet was soon challenged. The new rulers of the digital world, tech companies, emerged and gained enormous power over free speech and content management. All this happened alongside cautious regulation attempts on the part of various states, either by granting platforms near-totalimmunity (US) or by setting up new rules that were not fully developed (EU). China has established the Great Firewall and the Golden Shield as a third way.</p><p>In the book, particular attention is paid to developments since the 2010s, when Internet-related problems began to multiply. The state’s solutions have mostly pointed in one direction: towards greater control of platforms and the content they host. Similarities can be found in the US debates, the Chinese and Russian positions on internet sovereignty, and the new European digital regulations (DSA-DMA). The book addresses them all.</p>This book will be of interest to anyone who wants to understand the complexities of social media’s content regulation and moderation practices. It makes a valuable contribution to the field of freedom of expression and the internet, showing that, with different kinds of censorship, this essentially free form of communication has come - almost by default - under legal regulation and the original freedom may have been lost in too many countries in recent years.
