Elgar Encyclopedia of Law and Data Science

Edited by Giovanni Comandé, Professor of Law, Sant’Anna School of Advanced Studies (www.santannapisa.it) and Coordinator, LIDER-Lab (www.lider-lab.it)

This Encyclopedia brings together jurists, computer scientists, and data analysts to map the emerging field of data science and law for the first time, uncovering the challenges, opportunities, and fault lines that arise as these groups are increasingly thrown together by expanding attempts to regulate and adapt to a data-driven world. It explains the concepts and tools at the crossroads of the many disciplines involved in data science and law, bridging scientific and applied domains. Entries span algorithmic fairness, consent, data protection, ethics, healthcare, machine learning, patents, surveillance, transparency and vulnerability.
