This book highlights the challenges that artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, the Internet of Things (IoT), and other emerging digital technologies pose to existing EU and national liability legislation, while also tracing the evolution of the relevant EU policy and legal framework. Recognising that Member States'current national fault-based liability rules are ill-suited to handle compensation claims for AI-related harm, the book emphasises the difficulty victims face in proving fault and causation due to AI's unique characteristics, such as autonomy and opacity (“black box” effect). Similarly, the current Product Liability Directive (PLD) has several shortcomings: certain products, economic actors, and types of damage in the digital and circular economy are not covered under strict liability; proving defectiveness and establishing a causal link with damage, especially for complex products, is often challenging; in addition, liability claims are subject to restrictive limits and thresholds. The book discusses in detail the European Commission's proposal for a Directive on harmonising civil liability rules for damage caused by AI systems (the ‘proposed AI Liability Directive'). It also offers a thorough analysis of the European Commission's proposal for a revised Product Liability Directive, compares it with the positions of the Council of the EU and the European Parliament, and discusses the final text approved by the Plenary of the European Parliament in March 2024. The book incorporates comments from various parties, offering insights into the approaches of EU institutions and the conflicting interests among stakeholders. Presenting carefully grounded arguments, this volume serves as a valuable resource for understanding the interplay between policy and law within the new EU liability framework for AI and other innovative products. This forthcoming EU regime represents a significant shift in the liability landscape, potentially heightening litigation risks. Its success will depend on achieving the EU's overarching objective: ensuring fair compensation while fostering technological innovation.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of deception in autonomous transport systems. This involves investigating the threats facing autonomous transport systems and how they can contribute towards a deceptive attack, followed by their potential impact if successful, and finally, how they can be mitigated. The work in this book is grouped into three parts. This first part focuses on the area of smart cities, policies, and ethics. This includes critically appraising the trade-off between functionality and security with connected and autonomous vehicles. The second discusses a range of AI applications in the wider field of smart transport and mobility, such as detecting anomalies in vehicle behaviour to investigating detecting disobedient vehicles. Finally, the third part presents and discusses cybersecurity-related aspects to consider when dealing with Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs) and smart urban infrastructure. This includes analysing different attacks to investigating secure communication technologies. CAVs are a game-changing technology with the potential to transform the way transport is perceived, mobility is serviced, travel ecosystems ‘behave', and cities and societies as a whole function. There are many foreseen safety, accessibility and sustainability benefits resulting from the adoption of CAVs because of their ability, in theory, to operate error-free and collaboratively, ranging from accident prevention, congestion reduction and decreased carbon emissions to time savings, increased social inclusion, optimised routing, and better traffic control. However, no matter what the expected benefits are, CAVs are at the same time susceptible to an unprecedented number of new digital and physical threats. The severity of these threats has resulted in an increased effort to deepen our understanding of CAVs when it comes to their safety and resilience. In this complex and multi-faceted scenario, this book aims to provide an extensive overview of the risks related to the malicious exploitation of CAVs and beyond, the potential ways in which vulnerabilities can be exploited, prevention and mitigation policies and techniques, and the impact that the non-acceptance of Connected and Autonomous Mobility can have on the Smart City agenda. This book targets researchers, practitioners, and advanced-level students in computer science and transport engineering.

The book focuses on the open challenges associated with the convergence of the Internet of Things and Artificial Intelligence, as accommodated in 6G architecture. The authors discuss how in many fields, such as Natural Language Processing (NLP), interactive computer games, robotics, and multiuser virtual environments, this convergence is likely to have enormously benefits, from artificial intelligence mimicking human intelligence, attempting to simulate human intelligence, and producing a new intelligent machine capable of processing information with human consciousness, behaviour, and thinking integrated with appropriate algorithms. The book provides users with the fundamentals of IoT architecture, AI technology, and the architecture of AI and IoT converged networks. Furthermore, to provide hands-on experience with the technology, some proposed systems are discussed, along with their applications in various sectors such as healthcare, transportation, smart homes, production, manufacturing, renewable energy and agriculture. The book will discuss new technological advances, current research trends, and industry requirements. Discussed open challenges in the field will motivate researchers and stakeholders in industry to provide solutions, with some presented in the book to help spark ideas.
