The field of artificial intelligence (AI) has made tremendous advances in the last two decades, but as smart as AI is now, it is getting smarter and becoming more autonomous. This raises a host of challenges to current legal doctrine, including whether AI/algorithms should count as ‘speech’, whether AI should be regulated under antitrust and criminal law statutes, and whether AI should be considered as an agent under agency law or be held responsible for injuries under tort law. This book contains chapters from US and international law scholars on the role of law in an age of increasingly smart AI, addressing these and other issues that are critical to the evolution of the field.

This thoroughly updated Research Handbook examines the recent exponential growth of data use in society and its implications for legal research and practice. It explores contemporary research in the field of data science, as well as the operationalization of data for use in healthcare, urban governance and smart household devices, among others. Considering the emergence of Data Science and Law as a new legal discipline, the editors analyze pressing legal questions accompanying the rise of data-driven technologies. Drawing on comparative perspectives, this revised edition examines the possibilities and limitations of the current legal framework, investigating whether new regulation is needed to respond to problems raised by data science, and detailing the potential ethical issues arising from the use of data. It also evaluates the evolution of the regulation of artificial intelligence, generative AI and large language models, and EU legislation concerning consumer contract law and data protection. The Research Handbook in Data Science and Law is an essential resource for students of information and media law, internet and technology law, and research methods in law, as well as legal scholars and practitioners in the field. Data scientists seeking to further understand the law surrounding the field will also find this Research Handbook invaluable.

The empirical study of law, legal systems and legal institutions is widely viewed as one of the most exciting and important intellectual developments in the modern history of legal research. Motivated by a conviction that legal phenomena can and should be understood not only in normative terms but also as social practices of political, economic and ethical significance, empirical legal researchers have used quantitative and qualitative methods to illuminate many aspects of law's meaning, operation and impact. In the 43 chapters of The Oxford Handbook of Empirical Legal Research leading scholars provide accessible and original discussions of the history, aims and methods of empirical research about law, as well as its achievements and potential. The Handbook has three parts. The first deals with the development and institutional context of empirical legal research. The second - and largest - part consists of critical accounts of empirical research on many aspects of the legal world - on criminal law, civil law, public law, regulatory law and international law; on lawyers, judicial institutions, legal procedures and evidence; and on legal pluralism and the public understanding of law. The third part introduces readers to the methods of empirical research, and its place in the law school curriculum.
