About This Book

This second edition provides a broad range of perspectives on the legal implications of artificial intelligence (AI) across different global jurisdictions. Contributors identify the potential threats that AI poses to the protection of rights and human wellbeing, anticipating future developments in technological and legal infrastructures.

Our Review

This comprehensive legal guide offers an essential global perspective on how artificial intelligence intersects with legal systems across multiple jurisdictions, examining everything from intellectual property to civil liability. The contributors systematically identify how emerging AI technologies threaten fundamental rights and human wellbeing, providing crucial analysis of both current legal frameworks and future regulatory needs. Rather than focusing on theoretical possibilities, the book grounds its examination in practical legal challenges that governments and corporations currently face as AI systems become increasingly autonomous.

What distinguishes this handbook is its forward-looking approach that anticipates how technological infrastructure will evolve and what legal structures must develop in response. Legal professionals, policymakers, and technology developers will find particularly valuable the book's methodical analysis of liability questions and rights protection in an AI-driven world. The result is an indispensable resource for anyone navigating the complex intersection of artificial intelligence regulation and human rights protection across international legal systems.
