Artificial Intelligence and Law: Challenges Demystified

Artificial Intelligence and Law: Challenges Demystified (Second Edition) offers an in-depth examination of how artificial intelligence is reshaping legal systems, regulatory thinking, and governance worldwide. As AI technologies increasingly influence decision-making, commerce, surveillance, and social interactions, this book explains how the law is adapting to address accountability, transparency, fairness, and risk management in algorithm-driven environments.

This updated edition reflects recent technological advances and evolving legal responses, analysing how legislators, courts, and regulators are grappling with AI's implications for privacy, data protection, security, competition, consumer protection, and ethical governance. Using practical examples and case studies, the authors unpack complex legal issues in an accessible manner and demonstrate how legal frameworks can remain effective, flexible, and forward-looking in the age of intelligent systems.
