Through in-depth analysis and case studies, this book bridges the gap between technological innovation and regulatory systems, ensuring that the future of law incorporates robust mechanisms to meet emerging challenges.
The book will be of interest to researchers in the field of the law of emerging technologies, regulation, governance, artificial intelligence, and data science.
