The structure of
AI on Trial follows the same process as a High Court trial, taking a unique approach to the most innovative of technological areas.
Addressing the current state of artificial intelligence and the law, the book identifies why the technology should be 'placed on trial' and presents relevant evidence, before passing 'judgment' and proposing a Manifesto for Responsible AI and a blueprint for an ethical, legal and regulatory framework.
The
Second Edition includes:
- Four new 'evidence chapters' on generative AI, data ownership, the digital divide, and AI in education
- Discussion concerning the threats posed by ever-increasing digital and tech poverty, the opportunities for a potential revolution in education and the creative challenges from the rise of GenAI
- Contributions from leading US and other international thought leaders
Written from the viewpoint of practitioners, academics and journalists, this is an essential title for all information and technology law practitioners, in-house counsel, data protection officers, company directors, finance directors, academics and students. Technologists, regulators, legislators and journalists interested in getting to grips with the issues presented by AI will also benefit.
This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Cyber Law online service.
