Artificial Intelligence remains a complex and rapidly evolving technology. Since the second edition of this book, Generative AI models such as ChatGPT have made a seismic impact on the AI industry and society as a whole. Legislative and policy initiatives move closer to finalisation, particularly the EU’s groundbreaking Artificial Intelligence Act which is likely to have a global impact on regulation of AI and machine learning systems. In a fast moving specialist area, it is essential to keep pace. If you are lost and need clear direction, ‘Artificial Intelligence – The Practical Legal Issues’ will guide you through the policy updates and implications of existing AI technologies and provide a practical and easily digestible path to the real issues you need to consider as a legal practitioner.
This book contains a grounding of what differentiates artificially intelligent systems from traditional technology and explains the differences between AI, Machine Learning and Deep Learning, and what makes Generative AI (and by association, foundation models) so different. Understanding what AI systems can and cannot do is also essential to developing a clear legal awareness of the technology. From these introductory foundations, you’ll learn how the deployment of AI technology creates issues and risks that need to be considered carefully and that permeate across causation, intellectual property ownership, confidentiality and data protection, recruitment and even criminal law.
This Third Edition contains an entirely new chapter on one of the most exciting emergent AI technologies, Generative AI. AI Ethics and the new EU Artificial Intelligence Act are also explained in depth as well as commentary on the UK’s vision for AI as reflected in its 2023 AI Governance White Paper.
