About this Item
Paperback. Artificial Intelligence, Robots and the Law engages with critical ethical and legal issues relating to developments in AI and robotics, while also identifying and discussing broader socio-technical changes. The authors take a systematic approach to defining the field and the many terms of art that have come to distinguish it, contributing to a common language through which legal professionals, policymakers, and technologists can engage. The book explores how existing legal frameworks such as tort, criminal, contract, personal property and intellectual property laws apply to new contexts and explores the need for general law reform and technology-specific regulation.Written from an Australian perspective, the book incorporates comparative insights from other jurisdictions, recognising the global impact of these technologies. It explains the theoretical underpinnings of law and regulation, through which it explores the most critical areas affected by AI and robots, including automated decision-making, privacy, liability and insurance, competition and consumer law, and the future of work.The revised and updated second edition includes discussion of the implications of generative AI. It also expands on the deepening challenges to privacy and outlines major legislative and regulatory developments in response to AI and robots around the world including the EU AI Act, and Australias proposed risk-based framework.The book is essential reading for legal practitioners confronting the complexities of applying existing law to emerging technologies, for regulators whose fields intersect with AI and automated systems and robotics, and for all academics and educators. It is also an invaluable resource for students seeking to understand the legal and regulatory issues involved in this dynamic and challenging area.FeaturesIdentifies critical legal and ethical issues arising from the proliferation of AI in a wide range of applicationsComprehensive, wide-ranging and accessible discussionExamines the Australian legal position and relevant developments in overseas jurisdictionsCovers both theory and practical responsesHighly topical and relevant for both practitioners and studentsRelated TitlesSmith, Technology Law: Cases, Commentary and MaterialsBacina & Pettigrove, Law of Code: Blockchain and Digital Assets in Australia An engaging exploration of legal and ethical issues arising from developments in AI and robotics Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
