Summary
Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly more prevalent in
our daily social and professional lives. Although AI systems and robots
bring many benefits, they present several challenges as well. The
autonomous and opaque nature of AI systems implies that their
commercialisation will affect the legal and regulatory framework. In
this comprehensive book, scholars critically examine how AI systems may
impact Belgian law. While specific topics of Belgian private and public
law are thoroughly addressed, the book also provides a general overview
of a number of regulatory and ethical AI evolutions and tendencies in
the European Union. Therefore, it is a must-read for legal scholars,
practitioners and government officials as well as for anyone with an
interest in law and AI.
In this second edition various chapters have
been updated to reflect recent developments in the field. Two chapters
covering media law and competition law have also been added.
