[Call for Papers] On AI, Law and Policy: National and International Perspectives for a book to be Published by a Reputed Publisher [Submit Abstract by 15 September 2021]

Concept Note of the Book

AI has now penetrated almost every aspect of our lives. There is an urgent need to monitor and regulate the use of AI. AI also raises multiple ethical, moral and legal concerns which need to be understood and addressed before it’s too late.

Whether it is the future of the work, rights of workers, privacy concerns etc. all these areas need a detailed analysis and understanding.

The way the world does business has undergone a sea change in the last few decades. Rapid globalization, rise of global supply chains and rapid, fast paced technological changes have disrupted the traditional ways of doing and handling business. Virtual meetings, seamless movement of goods and services, capital has become the new normal.

Like any other major change, technological advancements are raising new challenges and concerns. An urgent need is being felt to regulate it. However given its nature it is virtually impossible for a single body, whether national or international to regulate it. So both lawmakers and policymakers are struggling to match the pace of the fast changing world.

The aim of the proposed book is to start a conversation in the right direction. Through this book, the editors want to contribute to the understanding of AI, its interface with different laws and how the law and policy related to AI and automation in a particular sector is shaping up, and how the stakeholders can regulate and monitor it. This book aims to deepen the understanding of the readers on various aspects of interplay of AI in different fields of law and its regulatory response.
