AI and Contracting

Systems based on artificial intelligence (AI) offer increasing opportunities to support human decision-making. This book discusses these opportunities from highly practical perspectives. Starting from a solid background and explanation of artificial intelligence and the general ethical challenges and possibilities in the legal field, it delves into four specific applications of AI systems. The first part relates to the use and deployment of AI systems in the corporate boardroom and in the context of M&A transactions in particular. The second part discusses the deployment of AI systems in the context of art authentication in particular. The third part considers the deployment of AI systems in HR management. The fourth and final part discusses the use of AI systems in the context of dispute settlement and settlements. Through these discussions, this book aims to enhance the knowledge and understanding legal practitioners have of today’s AI tools. It also aims to shed some light on the implications and challenges of those AI tools that may arise in the future.
