Artificial Intelligence, Law and Society

Artificial Intelligence (AI) I has changed the social, political, and legal landscapes in which norms emerge and are put to work. These changes bring new questions of rights and accountabilities for AI, as well as how AI affects existing norms and fields, such as labour law, intellectual property law and artistic design, data security law, and the laws of war. It has also changed how legal and political governance is designed, carried out and is put under scrutiny. While often understood as questions of tech-intensive societies, the increased use, implementation, and impact of AI carries with it renewed concerns about global legal, political, and economic inequalities in terms of extraction and distribution of resources, as well as new forms of oppression and violence. The social and political implications of AI are thus affective on a global and even extra-planetary scale.

The present series invites new ways of thinking about the various connections between AI, law, and society. More broadly the series is concerned with addressing the normative fields of the emergence, use, regulation, experience, and impact of AI and related emerging technologies. Artificial Intelligence, Law and Society adopts an open approach to AI. This means that the series welcomes analyses of AI and related technologies, law and society from any institutional setting, and is inclusive of the analysis of technological, political, legal, economic, and governmental designs of which AI is part.

The series will include both monographs and edited collections pursuing variety a of perspectives – including, but not limited to, a concern with:

• Legal, social, and political implications of AI
• Legal and political organisation of societies through and in resistance to AI
• AI and governance
• AI, automation and legal decision-making
• Embedded normativities in AI
• Legal philosophies and political ideologies in and of AI
• Embodied and environmental normativities and AI
• Posthuman, new materialist, decolonial, TWAIL, critical race, feminist, and other critical legal approaches to AI
• AI, law, and the changing politics of digital and cyber space
• AI, digital twinning, and the regulatory and experiential challenges they give rise to
• AI, human and more-than-human rights
• AI, law, and robotics
