Book Description
In the Internet of Things (IoT) era, online activities are no longer limited to desktop or laptop computers, smartphones and tablets. Instead, these activities now include ordinary tasks, such as using an internet-connected refrigerator or washing machine. At the same time, the IoT provides unlimited opportunities for household objects to serve as surveillance devices that continually monitor, collect and process vast quantities of our data. In this work, Stacy-Ann Elvy critically examines the consumer ramifications of the IoT through the lens of commercial law and privacy and security law. The book provides concrete legal solutions to remedy inadequacies in the law that will help usher in a more robust commercial law of privacy and security that protects consumer interests.

Book Description
The Internet of Things as an emerging global Internet-based information archit- ture facilitating the exchange of goods and services is gradually developing. While the technology of the Internet of Things is still being discussed and created, the legal framework should be established before the Internet of Things is fully operable, in order to allow for an efective introduction of the new information architecture. If a self-regulatory approach is to be adopted to provide a legal framework for the Internet of Things, and this seems preferable, rulemakers can draw on experiences from the current regime of Internet governance. In the near future, mainly businesses will operate in the Internet of Things. Civil society is only expected to make use of the Internet of Things, as it now does of the Internet, at a later stage (e.g. for healthcare). The Internet of Things will have an impact in various areas. The regulatory fra- work must provide for provisions ensuring the security of the structure as well as the privacy of its users. Furthermore, legal barriers that may stand in the way of the coming into operation of the Internet of Things will have to be considered. However, the Internet of Things will also have positive efects in diferent felds, such as the inclusion of developing countries in global trade, the use of search engines to the beneft of civil society, combating product counterfeiting, tackling environmental concerns, improving health conditions, securing food supply and monitoring compliance with labor standards.

Book Description
Internet of Things and the Law: Legal Strategies for Consumer-Centric Smart Technologies is the most comprehensive and up-to-date analysis of the legal issues in the Internet of Things (IoT). For decades, the decreasing importance of tangible wealth and power – and the increasing significance of their disembodied counterparts – has been the subject of much legal research. For some time now, legal scholars have grappled with how laws drafted for tangible property and predigital ‘offline’ technologies can cope with dematerialisation, digitalisation, and the internet. As dematerialisation continues, this book aims to illuminate the opposite movement: rematerialisation, namely, the return of data, knowledge, and power within a physical ‘smart’ world. This development frames the book’s central question: can the law steer rematerialisation in a human-centric and socially just direction? To answer it, the book focuses on the IoT, the sociotechnological phenomenon that is primarily responsible for this shift. After a thorough analysis of how existing laws can be interpreted to empower IoT end users, Noto La Diega leaves us with the fundamental question of what happens when the law fails us and concludes with a call for collective resistance against ‘smart’ capitalism.

Book Description
The purpose of this book is to discuss the trends and key drivers of Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI) for automation in Industry 4.0. IoT and AI are transforming the industry thus accelerating efficiency and forging a more reliable automated enterprise. AI-driven IoT systems for Industry 4.0 explore current research to be carried out in the cutting-edge areas of AI for advanced analytics, integration of industrial IoT (IIoT) solutions and Edge components, automation in cyber-physical systems, world leading Industry 4.0 frameworks and adaptive supply chains, etc. A thorough exploration of Industry 4.0 is provided, focusing on the challenges of digital transformation and automation. It covers digital connectivity, sensors, and the integration of intelligent thinking and data science. Emphasizing the significance of AI, the chapter delves into optimal decision-making in Industry 4.0. It extensively examines automation and hybrid edge computing architecture, highlighting their applications. The narrative then shifts to IIoT and edge AI, exploring their convergence and the use of edge AI for visual insights in smart factories. The book concludes by discussing the role of AI in constructing digital twins, speeding up product development lifecycles, and offering insights for decision-making in smart factories. Throughout, the emphasis remains on the transformative impact of deep learning and AI in automating and accelerating manufacturing processes within the context of Industry 4.0. This book is intended for undergraduates, postgraduates, academicians, researchers, and industry professionals in industrial and computer engineering.

Book Description
The field of artificial intelligence (AI) has made tremendous advances in the last two decades, but as smart as AI is now, it is getting smarter and becoming more autonomous. This raises a host of challenges to current legal doctrine, including whether AI/algorithms should count as ‘speech’, whether AI should be regulated under antitrust and criminal law statutes, and whether AI should be considered as an agent under agency law or be held responsible for injuries under tort law. This book contains chapters from US and international law scholars on the role of law in an age of increasingly smart AI, addressing these and other issues that are critical to the evolution of the field.

Book Description
This book discusses the implementation of privacy by design in Europe, a principle that has been codified within the European Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). While privacy by design inspires hope for future privacy-sensitive designs, it also introduces the need for a common understanding of the legal and technical concepts of privacy and data protection. By pursuing an interdisciplinary approach and comparing the problem definitions and objectives of both disciplines, this book bridges the gap between the legal and technical fields in order to enhance the regulatory and academic discourse. The research presented reveals the scope of legal principles and technical tools for privacy protection, and shows that the concept of privacy by design goes beyond the principle of the GDPR. The book presents an analysis of how current regulations delegate the implementation of technical privacy and data protection measures to developers and describes how policy design must evolve in order to implement privacy by design and default principles.

Book Description
The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the ability of everyday objects to connect to the Internet and to send and receive data. Experts estimate that in 2015 there will be 25 billion connected devices, and by 2020, 50 billion. This report summarizes a workshop hosted by the Fed. Trade Comm. (FTC) on Nov. 19, 2013, on IoT devices sold to or used by consumers and the issues of privacy and security. Participants noted that the IoT presents a variety of potential security risks that could be exploited to harm consumers by: (1) enabling unauthorized access and misuse of personal information; (2) facilitating attacks on other systems; and (3) creating risks to personal safety. Also, privacy risks may flow from the collection of personal information, habits, locations, and physical conditions over time. Such risks could undermine consumer confidence and may result in less widespread adoption. Participants also discussed Fair Information Practice Principles (FIPPs): security, data minimization, notice, and choice; and how use-based approaches could help protect consumer privacy. This is a print on demand report.
