Judgement-Proof Robots and Artificial Intelligence

This book addresses the role of public policy in regulating the autonomous artificial intelligence and related civil liability for damage caused by the robots (and any form of artificial intelligence). It is a very timely book, focusing on the consequences of judgment proofness of autonomous decision-making on tort law, risk and safety regulation, and the incentives stemming from these. This book is extremely important as regulatory endeavours concerning AI are in their infancy at most, whereas the industry's development is continuing in a strong way. It is an important scientific contribution that will bring scientific objectivity to a, to date, very one-sided academic treatment of legal scholarship on AI.

Engages all the relevant cornerstones of recent scholarship on the broader scope of the project on AI regulation Tackles an important and brand new problem by emphazising that the current scientific debate about AI liability may be misguided Seeks to take a look at the flipside of the coin, namely ex ante smart regulation of AI related challenges
