Full Description
The book addresses the intersection of artificial intelligence, sustainability, and solidarity in the context of promoting European values, offering critical insights from various branches of law, including European Union Law, International Law, Public Law, and Private Law. This compilation is a result of the 14th edition of the prestigious International Conference "Perspectives of Business Law in the Third Millennium" (businesslawconference.ro), held in November 2024 in Bucharest, and brings together contributions from leading scholars, practitioners, and policymakers. Technological advancements and their trajectory, along with ecological challenges, have brought together experts to debate the crossroads at which Europe stands between innovation and social responsibility. The work analyses how emerging technologies, particularly artificial intelligence, influence economic, social, and legal processes, shaping new directions for sustainable development. It brings to the forefront both the harmonisation of technological progress with fundamental European principles and the importance of solidarity and social cohesion. The authors of this collective volume have not overlooked the role of public policies and regulations in ensuring fair transitions towards a sustainable digital economy, where human rights and social inclusion are paramount. Additionally, the book highlights scientific novelties such as the public domain of cyber-space-time, the challenges and opportunities of balanced integration of new technologies, and underscores the importance of collaboration between states, institutions, and the private sector to build a future founded on responsible innovation. This work is aimed at academics, researchers, policymakers, entrepreneurs, and even students, as well as all those interested in the impact of technology on society and the economy. It is also a valuable resource for specialists in public policy, international law, European studies, and sustainability.
