Law, technology, and the governance of AI

Edited by Roger Brownsword, this handbook examines how law can help govern the use of AI in society. Its chapters address the intersection of legal frameworks and technology, including the challenge of shaping governance structures both within and beyond formal law. The volume frames AI governance as a question of balancing support for innovation with attention to risks to human dignity and democratic values. Its focus on institutional design and legal-social choices makes the book a reference point for considering how society might approach AI and big data, rather than a guide to any single application or regulatory solution.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers studying law, technology, or communications policy
  • Legal and policy professionals interested in AI governance
  • Researchers examining AI, big data, and democratic values

Book overview

In recent years, the use of AI has skyrocketed. The introduction of widely available generative AI, such as ChatGPT, has reinvigorated concerns for harm caused to users. Yet so far government bodies and scholarly literature have failed to determine a governance structure to minimize the risks associated with AI and big data. Despite the recent consensus among tech companies and governments that AI needs to be regulated, there has been no agreement regarding what a framework of functional AI governance should look like. This volume assesses the role of law in governing AI applications in society. While exploring the intersection of law and technology, it argues that getting the mix of AI governance structures correct-both inside and outside of the law-while balancing the importance of innovation with risks to human dignity and democratic values, is one of the most important legal-social determination of our times.
