Mantelero, A. (ed). Mediterranean Digital Societies. Law & Technology<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bloomsbury-Hart, London (Forthcoming)<\/strong><\/p>\n

This open access book provides a Mediterranean perspective on digital societies, focusing on core issues such as cultural heritage, tourism, smart city development, migration, humanitarian action management, maritime security, health data sharing, and the Mediterranean data space.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Mediterranean Sea is not just a geographical place; it is a crossroads of cultures, economies, and political trends which are now intertwined with data-driven technologies. Neither a national nor an EU versus non-EU perspective can fully grasp the variety and complexity of the resulting space and legal issues.
\nThis book takes a multidisciplinary approach to Mediterranean digital societies by analysing the legal, societal, and technical dimensions of the Mediterranean digital environment, with contributions by scholars and experts in this area.<\/p>\n

The book is a key resource for scholars who want to better understand these under-explored topics and do so from a Mediterranean, rather than an EU-centric perspective. It also supports policy makers designing their digital strategies – both sectoral and general – in the Mediterranean region, and considering the impact of data-driven technologies on society and their geo-political dimension.<\/p>\n

Mantelero, A. Beyond Data. Human Rights, Ethical and Social Impact Assessment in AI<\/strong><\/p>\n

Springer-T.M.C. Asser Press, The Hague, 2022<\/strong><\/p>\n

This open access book focuses on the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on individuals and society from a legal perspective, providing a comprehensive risk-based methodological framework to address it.<\/strong> Building on the limitations of data protection in dealing with the challenges of AI, the author proposes an integrated approach to risk assessment that focuses on human rights and encompasses contextual social and ethical values.<\/p>\n

The core of the analysis concerns the assessment methodology and the role of experts in steering the design of AI products and services by business and public bodies in the direction of human rights and societal values.<\/p>\n

Taking into account the ongoing debate on AI regulation, the proposed assessment model also bridges the gap between risk-based provisions and their real-world implementation.<\/p>\n

The central focus of the book on human rights and societal values in AI and the proposed solutions will make it of interestto legal scholars, AI developers and providers, policy makers and regulators.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
