Data Science, Machine Intelligence, and Law

Data-driven technologies, such as AI systems and robotics, have the potential to improve our lives, our society and our economy. At the same time, the development and use of these technologies raise unresolved legal and ethical issues. Our new peer reviewed book series brings together works from different legal fields, dealing with the legal, social and economic impact of these technologies, exploring on the one hand the opportunities for law and legal practice, and on the other hand, the ethical and legal frameworks they require. The series especially welcomes book proposals dealing with the legal and/or ethical aspects of data science and the emerging discipline of machine intelligence, which encompasses perception (sensing), AI (planning) and robotics (acting). In this way, our book series aims to contribute to an informed dialogue across the various disciplines about the chances and risks of data-driven systems.
