Towards Consumer-Empowering Artificial Intelligence

Giuseppe Contissa; Francesca Lagioia; Marco Lippi; Hans-Wolfgang Micklitz; Przemyslaw Palka; Giovanni Sartor; Paolo Torroni

Artificial Intelligence and Law is undergoing a critical transformation. Traditionally focused on the development of expert systems and on a scholarly effort to develop theories and methods for knowledge representation and reasoning in the legal domain, this discipline is now adapting to a sudden change of scenery. No longer confined to the walls of academia, it has welcomed new actors, such as businesses and companies, who are willing to play a major role and seize new opportunities offered by the same transformational impact that recent AI breakthroughs are having on many other areas. As it happens, commercial interests create new opportunities but they also represent a potential threat to consumers, as the balance of power seems increasingly determined by the availability of data. We believe that while this transformation is still in progress, time is ripe for the next frontier of this field of study, where a new shift of balance may be enabled by tools and services that can be of service not only to businesses but also to consumers and, more generally, the civil society. We call that frontier consumer-empowering AI.

91 Europarechtlicher Ausblick

Hans-Wolfgang Micklitz; Anja Böhnlein

Betrachtet man die politischen Masnahmen der Europaischen Union im Finanzsektor der letzten Jahre, so herrscht auf den ersten Blick ein einziges Thema vor, namlich Masnahmen, um „der Krise“ entgegenzuwirken. Sicherlich kam und kommt der Bewaltigung der Finanzkrise ein erheblicher Stellenwert in der Politik der Union zu. Jedoch sind Masnahmen auf diesem Gebiet nicht die einzigen, die tatsachlich getroffen wurden. Auf dem Weg zur angestrebten „echten Wirtschafts- und Wahrungsunion“ ist politisches Ziel „die Starkung der wirtschaftlichen Koordinierung und Integration im Euroraum“ (Pressemitteilung IP/13/248 vom 20.03.2013). Hauptziel der Politik ist und bleibt also die Vollendung des Binnenmarktes auf dem Finanzsektor. In den Begrundungen nahezu samtlicher Rechtssetzungsakte sind daher stets dieselben Begrifflichkeiten zu lesen: der Zugang zu den jeweiligen Markten soll erleichtert, die Wettbewerbsfahigkeit verbessert, Transaktionen sollen beschleunigt werden, und – wichtiger Punkt, quasi „Allheilmittel“ zur Erreichung der vorgenannten Schritte – eine Steigerung der Transparenz erreicht werden.
