Copyright Law and Generative AI
Is it lawful for generative AI to draw on protected works without permission? The question sits at the heart of today’s most urgent debates on AI, and the answer is anything but simple. This book takes a comparative and interdisciplinary approach to unpack how copyright exceptions apply—or fail to apply—in the age of generative AI. It examines how major jurisdictions, including the United States, China, the European Union, Japan, the United Kingdom, and Singapore, are confronting these challenges.The book begins by explaining the basic principles of copyright law and why they matter for both AI training and AI-generated content. It then surveys the key copyright exceptions and licensing routes currently available, highlighting how legal uncertainty has complicated efforts to regulate the way generative AI systems access and use protected material. To make sense of this uncertainty, the book looks beyond the law and examines the broader forces shaping the debate: emerging norms around AI ethics and copyright, the evolving business models built on generative AI, concerns about the market impact of AI-generated products, and the technical realities of generative models, from the black-box problem to the structure of latent space. These dynamics show why existing copyright exceptions, designed for an earlier technological era, often struggle to keep pace with generative AI. The book concludes with a framework for rethinking copyright exceptions that integrates legal, economic, normative, and technological considerations.By bringing together insights across jurisdictions and disciplines, this book offers a clear and timely account of how legal systems are trying to adapt copyright rules to the rise of generative AI without stifling innovation. It will appeal to scholars of intellectual property and artificial intelligence, as well as policymakers, regulators, and AI developers navigating this fast-changing landscape.

Gen AI, Authorship and the Law
This book interrogates the legal and cultural dimensions of persona authorship, particularly in the context of publicity rights and the growing regulatory response to Generative AI.In an era of rapid technological advancement and evolving legal frameworks, this book provides a groundbreaking analysis of the intersections between text, authorship, and vocabulary. Through an innovative application of the “if value, then right” (“IVTR”) principle, the book deconstructs the shifting foundations of authorship in Western legal thought. It examines the persona as a cultural text unrecognised by copyright law, the hybrid nature of publicity rights authorship, and the influence of postmodern vocabulary on legal adjudication. Crucially, it critically engages with the exclusion of Gen AI from authorship, highlighting how legal doctrine, rather than objective artistic neutrality, determines creative legitimacy. Bridging copyright and trademark law, this book argues for a re-evaluation of the balance between persona authorship and cultural control, offering a compelling framework for understanding the future of intellectual property in the digital age. It challenges conventional narratives and proposes new pathways for navigating authorship in a technologically mediated world.The book will be of interest to anyone interested in the evolution of intellectual property law, the intersection between law and culture, and their impact on the unique dilemmas posed by artificial intelligence.

Generative AI’s “Creative” Process in the Era of Privatisation of Knowledge
This book investigates how generative AI in the creative sector should be regulated in ways that are both effective and normatively desirable in the current era of datafication and knowledge capitalism. In particular, the book analyses the challenges posed by generative AI at both the input and output phases of the so-called “algorithmic creative process” while, on the one hand, examining how the EU legislator seeks to address these challenges—primarily through the AI Act—and, on the other hand, arguing that the analysis should extend beyond digital law to encompass renewed reflection on intellectual property law itself. In this respect, the book emphasises the need to reaffirm the social function that copyright law is meant to pursue, which is essential both to the effective governance of this phenomenon and to mitigating the risks arising from an uncritical acceptance of the ongoing privatisation of knowledge within the current socio-economic context.

Rule of Law After Artificial Intelligence
A timely investigation of what is at stake when AI takes legal decision-making out of human hands.Artificial intelligence is proliferating in many professions, and the legal field is no exception. In The Rule of Law After Artificial Intelligence, Katie Szilagyi investigates the philosophical and practical implications of using AI in legal spaces, beginning with several fundamental questions: What is the law supposed to do, and from where does it derive its authority? Would law still achieve these aims if automated? How might automation affect the rule of law’s integrity and democratic institutions’ operations?Blending legal philosophy, applied case studies, and insights from both critical legal scholarship and science and technology studies, Szilagyi argues that law and storytelling are deeply connected. Through creating and contesting the law, we make sense of the information around us and generate narratives about our collective world. These narratives are not static: legal precedent evolves, and legal deliberation on hard cases can help to resolve unclear or unprecedented social issues.Szilagyi demonstrates that technological innovations make the rule of law vulnerable because large language models and machine learning undermine the visioning function of legal narratives, collapsing exercises of legal interpretation into mere administration. Datafication of law—built on the biased data of our cultural past—threatens longstanding legal ideals, lessens the constraints against abuses of power by private actors, and hamstrings society’s ability to reach a more egalitarian future. Szilagyi argues instead for centering narratives within the law and, in turn, rediscovering the tales the law tells us about who we are.

Multidisciplinary Perspectives on Artificial Intelligence and the Law
This open access book presents an interdisciplinary, multi-authored, edited collection of chapters on Artificial Intelligence ('AI') and the Law. AI technology has come to play a central role in the modern data economy. Through a combination of increased computing power, the growing availability of data and the advancement of algorithms, AI has now become an umbrella term for some of the most transformational technological breakthroughs of this age. The importance of AI stems from both the opportunities that it offers and the challenges that it entails. While AI applications hold the promise of economic growth and efficiency gains, they also create significant risks and uncertainty. The potential and perils of AI have thus come to dominate modern discussions of technology and ethics - and although AI was initially allowed to largely develop without guidelines or rules, few would deny that the law is set to play a fundamental role in shaping the future of AI.As thedebate over AI is far from over, the need for rigorous analysis has never been greater. This book thus brings together contributors from different fields and backgrounds to explore how the law might provide answers to some of the most pressing questions raised by AI. An outcome of the Católica Research Centre for the Future of Law and its interdisciplinary working group on Law and Artificial Intelligence, it includes contributions by leading scholars in the fields of technology, ethics and the law.

Artificial Intelligence and Inventive Step
This open access book explores how artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping the inventive process and challenging core principles of patent law. By enabling advances and innovations that might be unimaginable through human creativity and inventiveness alone, AI raises fundamental questions about how patent law should respond to a changing landscape of invention. Against this background, the book examines the patentability of inventions aided or generated by AI, focusing in particular on the rationale and mechanisms of the inventive step requirement under Article 56 of the European Patent Convention and in the practice of the European Patent Office. It considers whether the definition, skills, and knowledge of the person skilled in the art should evolve to reflect the routine use of AI as a research tool. It examines when AI may form part of the skilled person’s common general knowledge and how that determination should be made. It also explores how AI’s ability to rapidly generate and analyse vast amounts of information poses challenges, particularly when assessing the state of the art and prior art for AI-related inventions. In addition, the book addresses the sufficiency of disclosure for AI-related inventions, asking whether existing standards adequately enable the skilled person to carry out such inventions. It evaluates competing proposals for adapting patent law, examination practices, and guidelines while preserving the integrity and fairness of the patent system. By identifying the distinctive challenges presented by AI innovation, the book contributes to the debate over whether the inventive step framework should be adjusted and whether new provisions tailored to AI-related inventions are needed.

Contract Law and Computational Manipulation
Addressing an underexplored issue in contract law, this explores the legal implications of ‘computational manipulation’, a form of AI-led influence that bypasses rational deliberation and targets decision-making processes.Taking an interdisciplinary approach, drawing on law, cognitive psychology, philosophy, and computer science, the book addresses the impact of persuasion, deception and manipulation used by an AI on the validity of a contract. Although prohibited under Article 5 of the newly adopted EU AI Act, the impact of computational manipulation (also known as second generation dark pattern) on contract law remains an under-researched legal grey area at the EU Member States' level, and even more in jurisdictions such as England and Wales, where the Act does not apply. Filling that gap, this book presents a critical and comparative analysis of the interaction between law and technology, and between law and society, from a contract law perspective. Using the English and Italian legal systems as case studies, the book argues that current contract law doctrines and consumer-oriented legislation in both Civil and Common Law traditions fail to adequately address this emerging threat to autonomy.This book will be of interest to researchers in the field of contract law, private law, and consumer law.

Populism, Artificial Intelligence and Law
Political systems across much of the West are now subject to populist disruption, which often takes an anti-Constitutional form. This interdisciplinary book argues that the current analysis of anti-Constitutional populism, while often astute, is focused far too narrowly. It is held here that due to an obscured complex of dynamics that has shaped the history of the West since its inception and which remains active today, we do not understand the present. This complex not only explains the current disruptions across the fields of contemporary religion, politics, economics and emerging artificial intelligence but also how these disruptions derive each from originary sources. This work thereby explains not only the manner in which this complex has functioned across historical time but also why it is that its inherent, unresolvable flaws have triggered the shifts between these key fields as well as the intractability of these present disruptions. It is this flawed complex of factors that has led to current conflicts about abortion reform, political populism, the failure of neoliberalism and the imminent quantum shift in generative artificial intelligence. It is argued that in this, law is heavily implicated, especially at the constitutional level. Presenting a forensic examination of the root causes of all these disruptions, the study provides a toolbox of ideas with which to confront these challenges. This is a book of originality and significance, which will make fascinating reading for academics and researchers working in the areas of Socio-legal Studies, Legal Philosophy, Political Science, Theology, AI and Neuroscience.The Open Access version of this book, available at http://www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.

Emotional Data Applications and Regulation of Artificial Intelligence in Society
This revolutionary new book on using AI to process human emotion data seeks to raise awareness for the topic, thoroughly discuss it from a multidisciplinary perspective and, by doing so, disseminate research findings that elaborate on the current and future regulatory needs for the responsible and ethical development and application of emotional AI. Biometric and psychological data of humans are the most sensitive data on human behavior. The book’s objective is to provide a holistic understanding of key challenges and propose novel, workable, substantive and methodological solutions for navigating current and future legal and ethical needs and dilemmas regarding the processes of developing and using emotional AI.Although both the academic community and political decision-makers continue to intensively discuss issues in the ethical regulation of AI, there is still a very limited understanding of both the opportunities and the risks in connection with emotional AI specifically. Yet, emotional AI is one of the most promising areas of AI developments and applications. Several of these innovations could be a welcome change in our society, as they could improve our well-being in various ways.That being said, these inventions require considerable investments. Thus, legal incentives such as IPRs are crucial to supporting investment in these fields. Further, these innovations might have negative effects on the privacy and autonomy of natural persons, raising both legal and ethical concerns. Thus, their legal and ethical acceptability, as well as their societal acceptance, might be challenged by several legal provisions in the EU, such as the GDPR; regulations on communications, social platforms, and marketing; and the draft AI Act. Yet, the current legal landscape for emotional AI in Europe is anything but clear – an aspect that becomes even more apparent when we consider the global picture of the regulatory framework for emotional AI. In this book, a diverse team of internationally respected experts addresses these issues, engaging in a multidisciplinary study into techno-economic-legal developments concerning emotional AI, its impacts, and the need for action. The book offers in-depth scientific and societally relevant insights on the past, present and future of AI in general, especially its many implications for law and policy. Although the primary target audience for the book are academics from the field of law, the book also offers sound guidance for legislators and general policymakers, as well as companies and organizations.

Artificial Intelligence and Labour Law
This volume provides a comprehensive legal analysis of the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on the organization of work. As algorithmic management is proliferating across industries, market players have started utilizing automated decision-making tools throughout the entire employment lifecycle, from hiring to contract termination. The digitalization process has also paved the way to the creation of new professions as well as of unprecedented virtual spaces of work, which can potentially become a tool for the training and qualification of workers who are already employed (even in traditional jobs: e.g., drivers and janitors). Furthermore, as the widespread debate on the so-called Predictive Justice showcases, AI might be used in the adjudication of labour disputes by either Courts or Arbitrators. The book initially maps, from a theoretical point of view, the core issues emerging from the use of AI in the organization of work. The second part of the volume displays how the same issues are addressed by the policy makers and/or by the social partners in a selected pool of countries, both from the EU context and from the non-EU context. Especially – but not exclusively – for the non-EU Countries, the Authors investigate the role of other pieces of legislation, such as the rules in matter of privacy and/or the antidiscrimination policies, in the protection of workers from the risks associated with AI. The core message of the book is that AI is a driver of both risks and opportunities for work; hence, a moderate and careful approach by the policy makers and by the social partners is due in order to strike a fair balance between the promotion of the technological progress and the protection of workers’ rights.
