Book excerpt: In recent years, the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has seen remarkable advances, revolutionizing how we live, work, and interact with technology. As AI systems grow increasingly sophisticated and autonomous, they raise new and challenging legal questions, particularly regarding AI-specific risks associated with automated systems. This indispensable handbook, written in clear language by international experts from all over the world, sheds light on the complex relationship between AI and the law, covering both existing laws and emerging AI-specific legal regulations. Beginning with a comprehensive and insightful technical analysis of how AI works, subsequent chapters cover a wide array of legal fields relevant to AI technology focusing on the legal framework in the EU, including the following topics: the EU AI Act; AI-Specific Liability and Product Safety; Data Protection; Data Law; Intellectual Property; Contracting; Antitrust; Criminal Law; Cybersecurity; Employment Law; and Legal Tech. The book concludes with country reports on the legal and regulatory environment in the United Kingdom, the United States, China, and Japan, contrasting them with the EU legal framework. Each chapter offers practical advice for implementing legal principles, making the handbook a valuable resource for real-world applications. It is an essential guide for practitioners, policymakers, academics, and others seeking a deep understanding of the complex legal challenges posed by AI use. The handbook aids in responsible and trustworthy AI development and use by guiding decision-making, reducing risks, and protecting the rights and well-being of individuals and society.
