The Cambridge Handbook of Artificial Intelligence: Global Perspectives on Law and Ethics

The technology and application of artificial intelligence (AI) throughout society continues to grow at unprecedented rates, which raises numerous legal questions that to date have been largely unexamined. Although AI now plays a role in almost all areas of society, the need for a better understanding of its impact, from legal and ethical perspectives, is pressing, and regulatory proposals are urgently needed. This book responds to these needs, identifying the issues raised by AI and providing practical recommendations for regulatory, technical, and theoretical frameworks aimed at making AI compatible with existing legal rules, principles, and democratic values. An international roster of authors including professors of specialized areas of law, technologists, and practitioners bring their expertise to the interdisciplinary nature of AI.

• Provides commentary on existing AI systems, focusing on its enhancing and disruptive effects on the current state of law
• Offers insight regarding the function of law in a future of advanced AI or super intelligence
• Discusses the dimensions of human intelligence and artificial intelligence from both legal, societal, and ethical perspectives
