Product description
"I would recommend that my fellow legal information professionals read the chapters on equality by design, legal ethics, judicial decision-making, and legal analytics. At the very least, most of us are using legal research tools that leverage AI, while some of our colleagues are increasingly involved in legal operations and in selecting legal technology. To the extent that these chapters reference technologies with which legal information professionals may be called upon to interact, it is important for us to be aware of the risks and opportunities relating to their use and any legal implications."

In the introduction to the new volume, Artificial Intelligence and the Law in Canada, the editors state that the rapid advance of AI technologies means that we must ensure that our legal frameworks can apply – and adapt – to this “fundamentally disruptive technology.” This book, which features an impressive slate of contributing authors, offers the first comprehensive Canadian examination of this quickly evolving subject matter and the implications of our attempts to regulate it.
A Thorough Analysis
Artificial intelligence is permeating virtually every aspect of our everyday lives – from the economy and our work, to medicine and engineering, to the decision-making processes of government and business. In many instances, development of the technology is outpacing regulation efforts; there has in fact been little AI-specific litigation or legislation in Canada to date. By taking a close look at both the risks and potential inherent in AI technologies, Artificial Intelligence and the Law in Canada provides valuable insight into the current state of AI in Canada as well as how the technology interacts with traditional areas of law, including intellectual property, contracts, torts, data protection, competition, administrative and health.
This book illustrates the range of legal and public policy challenges related to AI that Canada faces. The authors are leading Canadian scholars who offer insight into the key issues in question, how existing laws might apply, the gaps that exist and the topics that law reform should address.
