Reviews

'There is a shift in the academic debate from the 'if' to the 'how' AI should and could be regulated. This volume covers a broad range of fields, from robotics to copyrights and financial services, all united in one question: what would a regulatory framework that allows us to de-mystify algorithms and get to grips with the commercialisation of data look like? The regulatability of AI is the key issue of our times. The ten contributions provide dense up-to-date information and enticing inspiration in the search for societally acceptable solutions.' Hans W. Micklitz, European University Institute 'A timely book that finely addresses a crucial issue in the age of digitalization - the governance of algorithms - and helps to identify a new and necessary field of legal studies.' Ugo Pagallo, University of Turin 'The ubiquity of algorithms in many areas of our lives has become one of the burning issues of our time, with legislators and policy-makers around the world grappling with the many challenges associated with Artificial Intelligence and Algorithms. This development is significant for many disciplines, including law. This collection of essays examines many of the legal issues of AI and algorithms and illustrates just how complex an area this has become. It will be welcomed by any reader interested in understanding the many legal and ethical questions which need to be resolved.' Christian Twigg-Flesner, University of Warwick 'The book accomplishes a difficult task. It is an excellent source for those who dive for the first time into the legal challenges that AI poses to law ... The book is written in such a clear manner that it allows an interdisciplinary understanding. The authors and editors should be applauded for the clarity with which they explore an extremely complex subject.' Francisco de Elizalde, Prometheus
