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.
In the automotive sector, digitalisation, connectivity and automation are rapidly expanding. In tomorrow’s vehicles, human beings will merely be passengers – which raises a host of complex legal issues regarding accidents involving self-driving vehicles. This book is the first to offer a comprehensive, global overview of civil liability regimes for all levels of vehicle automation in jurisdictions that represent some of the most important markets for the automotive industry. After a technical introduction to how self-driving cars work, the individual chapters analyse the liability for driving automation at SAE J3016 levels 0 through 5 from a country-specific perspective. All chapters wer...
Un legislatore assente e un cattivo legislatore “onnipresente” sui temi relativi alla vita, nelle sue “frontiere”, rappresentano entrambi espressione di un approccio ai temi bioetici incompatibile con l’ordinamento costituzionale. D’altro canto, il pericolo di un “giudice legiferante”, o di un “giudice scienziato”, costituisce un rischio ugualmente da rifuggire. Nel libro si cerca di trarre alcune possibili conclusioni sul ruolo, virtù e limiti del diritto giurisprudenziale in bioetica e soprattutto su quale forma e contenuto debba assumere la “norma bioetica”. I molteplici temi posti dalla fecondazione assistita, i bilanciamenti che vedono coinvolti l’embrione, ma...
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 has sparked a global debate on how to regulate AI and robotics (“governance of algorithms”). This book discusses both of these key aspects: the impact of algorithms, and the possibilities for future regulation.
