About this work

Neither apocalypse nor naive enthusiasm: a realist approach to regulating artificial intelligence in the public sphere. Governments already use algorithms to manage data, detect fraud, anticipate crime and process files. How should the law respond? In four connected studies, Ricardo Rivero Ortega argues that lists of ethical principles are not enough, and that a guarantee-based overreaction that ignores how the technology works is just as harmful. What is needed are precise duties, effective oversight and sanctions grounded in facts.

The studies cover smart public management and Big Data, with their real applications, risks and limits; algorithms and their biases of sex and gender; predictive policing, from science fiction to «PreCrime» reality, and the guarantees it requires; and the constitutional limits to replacing civil servants with algorithms. An introductory essay discusses ethics versus regulation and whether a specialized AI agency is needed.

Translated from the Spanish original, Derecho e inteligencia artificial. Cuatro estudios. Also available in Brazilian Portuguese: Direito e Inteligência Artificial. Quatro estudos.

Who it is for. For scholars and students of public law, regulators, public managers and anyone following the debate on AI governance.
