Law and artificial intelligence : regulating AI and applying AI in legal practice
Custers B., Fosch-Villaronga E., Asser Press, The Hague, The Netherlands, 2022. 569 pp. Type: Book (9789462655225)
Date Reviewed: Jun 6 2023

Artificial intelligence (AI) has a significant impact on various legal issues, and several books have been written on the subject. These books often explore the intersection between AI and law, discussing topics such as the legal implications of AI, ethics in AI development and use, AI in the justice system, and AI’s influence on privacy and intellectual property (IP) laws. Custers and Fosch-Villaronga’s book is very timely and important because, especially with the advances in generative AI, governments have been discussing global AI regulations.

Law and artificial intelligence covers 27 peer-reviewed academic papers about AI and law. The topics of the papers span different areas such as AI in criminal law, AI for employment, and AI for women’s rights. The editors’ intention is to give readers an academic perspective on how AI affects law and vice versa. The book is successful in achieving this goal. As the book consists of academic papers, it refers to other papers and books in the field as citations.

Readers should have a basic understanding of how AI works in order to understand the book. It would also be helpful for readers to have some idea of law and regulations. The book can be considered an academic resource for researchers, graduate students, curious readers, policymakers, and lawyers who want to get informed about the current state of the art for AI and law. After reading the book, readers will have a good idea of why AI needs policies and regulations.

The book is logically organized into five parts: “Introduction,” “Public Law,” “Private Law,” “Legal Practice,” and “The Future of AI.” All of the parts include related papers with citations.

Overall, it is a good book. I would recommend it primarily to researchers, graduate students, and faculty; however, anyone interested in the topic can benefit from it if they like to read academic works.
