Artificial Intelligence and the New World Order: New weapons, New Wars and a New Balance of Power (Frontiers of Artificial Intelligence, Ethics and Multidisciplinary Applications)
by Fatima RoumateThis book discusses the implications of artificial intelligence (AI) on post-COVID-19 international relations. With the decline and fall of U.S. global leadership and the emergence of new powerful actors, as hastened by the global pandemic, new arms are now used in new forms of wars with new players. The balance of power swings between geostrategic interests and those linked to the global governance of virtual space and the race to technological sovereignty. Chapters focus on the challenges imposed by these changes on different parts of the international system—law, governance, diplomacy, international psychological security—and articulate new strategies and ethical policies as possible solutions. The volume is interdisciplinary and will appeal to researchers, students, and professionals across fields interested in the ethics of AI in the international system.
Artificial Intelligence as a Disruptive Technology: Economic Transformation and Government Regulation
by Rosario GirasaArtificial intelligence (AI) is the latest technological evolution which is transforming the global economy and is a major part of the “Fourth Industrial Revolution.” This book covers the meaning, types, subfields and applications of AI, including U.S. governmental policies and regulations, ethical and privacy issues, particularly as they pertain and affect facial recognition programs and the Internet-of Things (IoT). There is a lengthy analysis of bias, AI’s effect on the current and future job market, and how AI precipitated fake news. In addition, the text covers basics of intellectual property rights and how AI will transform their protection. The author then moves on to explore international initiatives from the European Union, China’s New Generation Development Plan, other regional areas, and international conventions. The book concludes with a discussion of super intelligence and the question and applicability of consciousness in machines. The interdisciplinary scope of the text will appeal to any scholars, students and general readers interested in the effects of AI on our society, particularly in the fields of STS, economics, law and politics.
Artificial Intelligence, Business and Civilization: Our Fate Made in Machines (Routledge Focus on Business and Management)
by Andreas KaplanArtificial intelligence is shaking up economies around the world as well as society at large and is predicted to be either the best or worst thing to happen to humanity. This book looks at what exactly artificial intelligence is, how it can be classified, how it differentiates from other concepts such as machine learning, big data, blockchain, or the Internet-of-Things, and how it has evolved and might evolve over time. Providing a clear and unbiased picture of artificial intelligence, the book provides critical analyses of the advantages and disadvantages, opportunities and threats of AI progress for business and civilisation. Solutions and possible directions of how humanity might deal with rapid development and evolutions will be given and discussed, and consider regulation, employment, ethics, education and international cooperation. Unlike existing literature, this book provides a comprehensive overview of AI based on detailed analysis and insight. Finally, several real-life examples from various sectors and industries, including for profit organizations, higher education, and government, will substantiate and illustrate the presented concepts, classifications, and discussions. This book is of interest to researchers, educators, students, and practitioners alike who desire to understand AI in its broad lines and discover the latest research and studies within the field.
Artificial Intelligence, Computational Modelling and Criminal Proceedings: A Framework for A European Legal Discussion (Legal Studies in International, European and Comparative Criminal Law #4)
by Serena QuattrocoloThis book discusses issues relating to the application of AI and computational modelling in criminal proceedings from a European perspective. Part one provides a definition of the topics. Rather than focusing on policing or prevention of crime – largely tackled by recent literature – it explores ways in which AI can affect the investigation and adjudication of crime. There are two main areas of application: the first is evidence gathering, which is addressed in Part two. This section examines how traditional evidentiary law is affected by both new ways of investigation – based on automated processes (often using machine learning) – and new kinds of evidence, automatically generated by AI instruments. Drawing on the comprehensive case law of the European Court of Human Rights, it also presents reflections on the reliability and, ultimately, the admissibility of such evidence. Part three investigates the second application area: judicial decision-making, providing an unbiased review of the meaning, benefits, and possible long-term effects of ‘predictive justice’ in the criminal field. It highlights the prediction of both violent behaviour, or recidivism, and future court decisions, based on precedents. Touching on the foundations of common law and civil law traditions, the book offers insights into the usefulness of ‘prediction’ in criminal proceedings.
Artificial Intelligence, Design Law and Fashion (Routledge Research in Fashion Law)
by Hasan Kadir YılmaztekinArtificial intelligence (AI) now infiltrates our culture. After a couple of difficult winters, AI today is a word on everybody’s lips, and it attracts everyone’s attention regardless of whether they are experts or not. From Apple’s Siri to Amazon’s Alexa, Tesla’s auto-driving cars to facial recognition systems in CCTV cameras, Netflix’s film offering services to Google’s search engine, we live in a world of AI goods. The advent of AI-powered technologies increasingly affects people’s lives across the globe. As a tool for productivity and cost-efficiency, AI also shapes our economy and welfare. AI-generated designs and works are becoming more popular. Today, AI technologies can generate several intellectual creations. Fashion is one of the industries that AI can profoundly impact. AI tools and devices are currently being used in the fashion industry to create fashion models, fabric and jewellery designs, and clothing. When we talk about AI-generated designs, we instead focus on the fruits of innovation – more best-selling apparels, more fashionable designs and more fulfilment of customer expectations – without paying heed to who the designer is. Designers invest a lot of talent, time and finances into designing and creating each article of clothing and accessory before they release their work to the public. Pattern drafting is the first and most important step in dressmaking. Designers typically start with a general sketch on paper; add styles, elements and colours; revise and refine everything; and finally deliver their design to dressmakers. AI accelerates this time-consuming and labour-intensive process. Yet the full legal consequences of AI in fashion industry are often forgotten. An AI device’s ability to generate fashion designs raises the question of who will own intellectual property rights over the fashion designs. Will it be the fashion designer who hires or contracts with the AI programmer? Will it be the programmer? Will it be the AI itself? Or will it be a joint work of humans and computers? And who will be liable for infringement deriving from use of third-party material in AI-generated fashion designs? This book explores answers to these questions within the framework of EU design and copyright laws. It also crafts a solution proposal based on a three-step test and model norms, which could be used to unleash the authors, rights holders and infringers around AI-generated fashion designs.
Artificial Intelligence for a Better Future: An Ecosystem Perspective on the Ethics of AI and Emerging Digital Technologies (SpringerBriefs in Research and Innovation Governance)
by Bernd Carsten StahlThis open access book proposes a novel approach to Artificial Intelligence (AI) ethics. AI offers many advantages: better and faster medical diagnoses, improved business processes and efficiency, and the automation of boring work. But undesirable and ethically problematic consequences are possible too: biases and discrimination, breaches of privacy and security, and societal distortions such as unemployment, economic exploitation and weakened democratic processes. There is even a prospect, ultimately, of super-intelligent machines replacing humans. The key question, then, is: how can we benefit from AI while addressing its ethical problems?This book presents an innovative answer to the question by presenting a different perspective on AI and its ethical consequences. Instead of looking at individual AI techniques, applications or ethical issues, we can understand AI as a system of ecosystems, consisting of numerous interdependent technologies, applications and stakeholders. Developing this idea, the book explores how AI ecosystems can be shaped to foster human flourishing. Drawing on rich empirical insights and detailed conceptual analysis, it suggests practical measures to ensure that AI is used to make the world a better place.

by Qiqi Gao Jiteng ZhangThis is the first professional academic work in China to discuss artificial intelligence and blockchain together. Artificial intelligence is a productivity revolution, and its development has a significant and profound impact on global changes. However, at the same time, its development also brings a series of challenges to human society, such as privacy, security, and fairness issues. Therefore, the significance of blockchain is even more prominent. Blockchain is a revolution in production relations, which will propose important solutions to the challenges of privacy, security, and fairness that arise after the development of artificial intelligence. The book not only discusses the problems currently faced by the development of artificial intelligence, as well as the new opportunities and challenges that artificial intelligence brings to future global governance, but also explains the further development direction of the intelligent revolution from the perspective of blockchain.
Artificial Intelligence in Accounting: Organisational and Ethical Implications (Routledge Studies in Accounting)
by Othmar M. Lehner Carina KnollArtificial intelligence (AI) and Big Data based applications in accounting and auditing have become pervasive in recent years. However, research on the societal implications of the widespread and partly unregulated use of AI and Big Data in several industries remains scarce despite salient and competing utopian and dystopian narratives. This book focuses on the transformation of accounting and auditing based on AI and Big Data. It not only provides a thorough and critical overview of the status-quo and the reports surrounding these technologies, but it also presents a future outlook on the ethical and normative implications concerning opportunities, risks, and limits. The book discusses topics such as future, human-machine collaboration, cybernetic approaches to decision-making, and ethical guidelines for good corporate governance of AI-based algorithms and Big Data in accounting and auditing. It clarifies the issues surrounding the digital transformation in this arena, delineates its boundaries, and highlights the essential issues and debates within and concerning this rapidly developing field. The authors develop a range of analytic approaches to the subject, both appreciative and sceptical, and synthesise new theoretical constructs that make better sense of human-machine collaborations in accounting and auditing. This book offers academics a variety of new research and theory building on digital accounting and auditing from and for accounting and auditing scholars, economists, organisations, and management academics and political and philosophical thinkers. Also, as a landmark work in a new area of current policy interest, it will engage regulators and policy makers, reflective practitioners, and media commentators through its authoritative contributions, editorial framing and discussion, and sector studies and cases.

There are many current investigative challenges that, with ingenuity and application, can be helped with the application of AI, especially in the digital forensic and cyber-crime arena. The book also explains many practical studies that have been carried out to test AI technologies in crime detection, uncovering evidence, and identifying perpetrators. In the last decade, the use of AI has become common in many fields and now is an ideal time to look at the various ways AI can be integrated into judicial, forensic, and criminal cases to better collect and analyze evidence, thereby improving outcomes.
Artificial Intelligence, Management and Trust (Routledge Studies in Trust Research)
by Mariusz Sołtysik Magda Gawłowska Bartlomiej Sniezynski Artur GuniaThe main challenge related to the development of artificial intelligence (AI) is to establish harmonious human-AI relations, necessary for the proper use of its potential. AI will eventually transform many businesses and industries; its pace of development is influenced by the lack of trust on the part of society. AI autonomous decision-making is still in its infancy, but use cases are evolving at an ever-faster pace. Over time, AI will be responsible for making more decisions, and those decisions will be of greater importance. The monograph aims to comprehensively describe AI technology in three aspects: organizational, psychological, and technological in the context of the increasingly bold use of this technology in management. Recognizing the differences between trust in people and AI agents and identifying the key psychological factors that determine the development of trust in AI is crucial for the development of modern Industry 4.0 organizations. So far, little is known about trust in human-AI relationships and almost nothing about the psychological mechanisms involved. The monograph will contribute to a better understanding of how trust is built between people and AI agents, what makes AI agents trustworthy, and how their morality is assessed. It will therefore be of interest to researchers, academics, practitioners, and advanced students with an interest in trust research, management of technology and innovation, and organizational management.
Artificial Intelligence, Social Harms and Human Rights (Critical Criminological Perspectives)
by Aleš Završnik Katja SimončičThis book critically explores how and to what extent artificial intelligence (AI) can infringe human rights and/or lead to socially harmful consequences and how to avoid these. The European Union has outlined how it will use big data, machine learning, and AI to tackle a number of inherently social problems, including poverty, climate change, social inequality and criminality. The contributors of this book argue that the developments in AI must take place in an appropriate legal and ethical framework and they make recommendations to ensure that harm and human rights violations are avoided. The book is split into two parts: the first addresses human rights violations and harms that may occur in relation to AI in different domains (e.g. border control, surveillance, facial recognition) and the second part offers recommendations to address these issues. It draws on interdisciplinary research and speaks to policy-makers and criminologists, sociologists, scholars in STS studies, security studies scholars and legal scholars.
Artificial Misinformation: Exploring Human-Algorithm Interaction Online
by Donghee ShinThis book serves as a guide to understanding the dynamics of AI in human contexts with a specific focus on the generation, sharing, and consumption of misinformation online. How do humans and AI interact? How is AI shaping our understanding of ourselves and our societies? What are the interaction mechanisms that govern how humans and algorithms contribute to misinformation online? And how do we bridge the gap between ethical considerations and practical realities to make responsible, reliable systems? Exploring these questions, the book empowers humans to make AI design choices that allow them meaningful control over AI and the online sphere. Calling for an interdisciplinary approach toward human-misinformation algorithmic interaction that focuses on building methods and tools that robustly deal with complex psychological/social phenomena, the book offers a compelling insight into the future of AI-based society.
Artistic License: The Philosophical Problems of Copyright and Appropriation
by Darren Hudson HickThe art scene today is one of appropriation—of remixing, reusing, and recombining the works of other artists. From the musical mash-ups of Girl Talk to the pop-culture borrowings of Damien Hirst and Jeff Koons, it’s clear that the artistic landscape is shifting—which leads to some tricky legal and philosophical questions. In this up-to-date, thorough, and accessible analysis of the right to copyright, Darren Hudson Hick works to reconcile the growing practice of artistic appropriation with innovative views of artists’ rights, both legal and moral. Engaging with long-standing debates about the nature of originality, authorship, and artists’ rights, Hick examines the philosophical challenges presented by the role of intellectual property in the artworld and vice versa. Using real-life examples of artists who have incorporated copyrighted works into their art, he explores issues of artistic creation and the nature of infringement as they are informed by analytical aesthetics and legal and critical theory. Ultimately, Artistic License provides a critical and systematic analysis of the key philosophical issues that underlie copyright policy, rethinking the relationship between artist, artwork, and the law.
The Arts and the Legal Academy: Beyond Text in Legal Education (Emerging Legal Education)
by Maksymilian Del Mar Paul Maharg Zenon BańkowskiIn Western culture, law is dominated by textual representation. Lawyers, academics and law students live and work in a textual world where the written word is law and law is interpreted largely within written and printed discourse. Is it possible, however, to understand and learn law differently? Could modes of knowing, feeling, memory and expectation commonly present in the Arts enable a deeper understanding of law's discourse and practice? If so, how might that work for students, lawyers and academics in the classroom, and in continuing professional development? Bringing together scholars, legal practitioners internationally from the fields of legal education, legal theory, theatre, architecture, visual and movement arts, this book is evidence of how the Arts can powerfully revitalize the theory and practice of legal education. Through discussion of theory and practice in the humanities and Arts, linked to practical examples of radical interventions, the chapters reveal how the Arts can transform educational practice and our view of its place in legal practice. Available in enhanced electronic format, the book complements The Moral Imagination and the Legal Life, also published by Ashgate.
Arts of the Political: New Openings for the Left
by Amin Ash Thrift NigelIn the West, "the Left," understood as a loose conglomeration of interests centered around the goal of a fairer and more equal society, still struggles to make its voice heard and its influence felt, even amid an overwhelming global recession. In Arts of the Political: New Openings for the Left, Ash Amin and Nigel Thrift argue that only by broadening the domain of what is considered political and what can be made into politics will the Left be able to respond forcefully to injustice and inequality. In particular, the Left requires a more imaginative and experimental approach to the politics of creating a better society. The authors propose three political arts that they consider crucial to transforming the Left: boosting invention, leveraging organization, and mobilizing affect. They maintain that successful Left political movements tend to surpass traditional notions of politics and open up political agency to these kinds of considerations. In other words, rather than providing another blueprint for the future, Amin and Thrift concentrate their attention on a more modest examination of the conduct of politics itself and the ways that it can be made more effective.
The Arts of Transitional Justice
by Peter D. Rush Olivera SimićThe Art of Transitional Justice examines the relationship between transitional justice and the practices of art associatedwith it. Art, which includes theater, literature, photography, and film, hasbeen integral to the understanding of the issues faced in situations oftransitional justice as well as other issues arising out ofconflict and mass atrocity. The chapters in this volume take up this understandingand its demands of transitional justice in situations in several countries:Afghanistan, Serbia, Srebenica, Rwanda, Northern Ireland, Cambodia, as well asthe experiences of resulting diasporic communities. In doing so, it brings tobear the insights from scholars, civil society groups, and art practitioners,as well as interdisciplinary collaborations.
Arzthaftung und Verjährung
by Benjamin GoehlDieses Buch analysiert die praxisrelevante Frage der Verjährung von Arzthaftungsansprüchen. In einem ersten Teil werden die dogmatischen Grundlagen der Verjährung dargestellt.

Ärztlich assistierter Suizid und organisierte Sterbehilfe (Veröffentlichungen des Instituts für Deutsches, Europäisches und Internationales Medizinrecht, Gesundheitsrecht und Bioethik der Universitäten Heidelberg und Mannheim #39)
by Kallia GavelaDas deutsche Strafgesetzbuch kennt keinen Sondertatbestand der Suizidbeteiligung. Rechtliche Konstruktionen und Wertungen insbesondere höchstrichterlicher Herkunft füllen diese Lücke. Die sich daraus vor allem für behandelnde Ärzte ergebenden Probleme drängen sich bei unheilbar kranken, dem Tode geweihten Patienten geradezu auf. Das Werk behandelt diese Fragen im Spannungsverhältnis von Strafrecht, Medizinrecht und Ethik. Die Autorin zeigt die Grenzen auf, innerhalb derer die ärztliche Beteiligung am Patientensuizid rechtlich zulässig und ethisch vertretbar ist. Die Arbeit behandelt außerdem die Probleme, die aus der Einführung einer strafrechtlichen Regelung gegen "suspekte" organisierte Suizidhilfeangebote erwachsen, deckt Defizite der jüngst vorgeschlagenen Lösungsansätze auf und gibt Anstöße für Wissenschaft, Praxis und Kriminalpolitik. Ein Blick auf ausländische Rechtsordnungen, Entscheidungen und Tendenzen rundet das Bild ab.
Ärztliche Begutachtung von A–Z: Fachbegriffe, die der ärztliche Gutachter kennen muss
by Elmar LudolphIn diesem Buch werden die wichtigsten Begriffe, die der ärztliche Gutachter kennen sollte, übersichtlich, kompakt und vor allem präzise erläutert. Derselbe Begriff kann in Medizin und Rechtswissenschaft durchaus unterschiedlich verstanden werden. So ist die interdisziplinäre Kommunikation zwischen ärztlichen Sachverständigen und Gerichten/Verwaltung/Versicherungen eine schwierige Aufgabe für alle Beteiligten. Viele Streitfragen könnten allerdings gelöst werden, wenn man gerade bei diesen von Juristen und Medizinern gemeinsam benutzten Begriffen nicht aneinander vorbeireden würde. Hier setzt das Buch an: Für alle nachvollziehbar und dennoch mit höchster Präzision werden die wichtigsten Begriffe – sortiert von A – Z – definiert. Darüber hinaus runden Hinweise auf die Pflichten des ärztlichen Gutachters und zahlreiche Tipps für die Erstellung und Abrechnung von ärztlichen Gutachten das Werk ab. Der Schwerpunkt der Erläuterungen betrifft den orthopädisch-unfallchirurgischen Bereich, den Herr Dr. Ludolph vertritt.<p><p> Damit Ärzte und Juristen die gleiche Sprache sprechen Die wichtigsten Begriffe, die für die ärztliche Begutachtung bekannt sein müssen <P> Kompakte und vor allem präzise Erläuterungen<P> Sortiert von A - Z
