New approaches to Big Data and Artificial intelligence regulation
New approaches to Big Data and Artificial intelligence regulation

Summary/Abstract: Big Data and so-called Artificial Intelligence (AI) are on the rise: already today, numerous devices which we use quite naturally are based on some type of AI, and the trend continues. But it is questionable whether the existing legal framework with regard to liability, privacy, product safety, database, copyright, industrial property rights, trade secrets, antitrust as well as contract and license law reflects all the new and complex (factual) issues that arise when AI is used. Moreover, current laws are fragmented due to either local / national or industry-specific regulations. This paper examines existing challenges with regard to Big Data and AI and what a future-proof legal approach to such techniques particularly from a data protection point of view, including ethical standards, may look like to address specific concerns with regard to Big Data and Artificial Intelligence.
