The paper presents the FRIA project aimed at researching and specifying a methodology to assess the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems on fundamental rights, as recognised by the international and European regulations of hard law and soft law, with the specific reference to the judicial sector as the field of analysis. The research meth...

The work is focused on the new profiles of civil liability that can arise in the event of a traffic accident between two vehicles, at least one of which is (semi)autonomous. In this scenario, starting from a critical analysis of the state of the art, the work achieves two aims thanks to an interdisciplinary research method applied. First of all, it...

ABSTRACT ITALIANO: Molteplici sono le politiche governative per la promozione dello sviluppo socialmente responsabile delle nuove tecnologie, anche nel settore automobilistico, al fine di ridurne l’impatto ambientale. Tuttavia, risulta necessario affiancare e attuare tali iniziative attraverso la disciplina di determinate fattispecie giuridiche di...

Sustainable development constitutes a fundamental value that would seem too long mistakenly considered a limit to digital transformation. On the contrary, sustainability can be understood as a socio-legal challenge characterised by the desire to pursue a common ideal: the protection of the environment in the interest of the present and future gener...

The paper aims to critically analyse and compare legal rules and ethical principles in order to understand their possible relationships in the regulation of artificial intelligence systems. Indeed, the purpose of the work is to identify the interaction of law with ethics to guarantee an adequate regulation of AI, also in terms of sustainability, de...

Starting from a critical analysis of the legal issues related to BCI applications, the paper aims to provide the explanation of a prototype of an evaluation and measurement tool for legal compliance of BCI products, in order to ensure the compliance by design of the BCI products with the current legislation and the protection of human rights. There...

The paper focuses on several regulatory issues related to road safety and data protection. Among other things, it discusses the requirements and the role of the driver, the homologation of self-driving cars and the regulation of the different types of data used and produced by autonomous driving systems, considering the different levels of automati...

The work deepens the update of the W10 operative system, after the entry into force of the GDPR (W10 version 2019), in comparison with that of 2016, used before the privacy reform and now no longer available. In particular, the main differences between W10 version 2016 and W10 version 2019 concern the implementation of privacy and security in compl...

The work verifies the efficacy of consent to the processing of personal data with specific regard to the awareness of the users and of its related risk. In order to carry out the evaluation, a subsample of users involved in the experiment went through an extended questionnaire (see Q48 – Q59), including additional questions related to the awareness...

InsurTech is an economic and legal phenomenon concerning the application of new technologies and, in particular, Artificial Intelligence, to the insurance sector. The phenomenon is emerging not only in the international and European panorama but also in the Italian one. In this regard, the paper describes the development of InsurTech in the Italian...

In the 21st century, the protection of the environment plays a role of primary importance more than ever and presents itself as a central issue on the agenda of governments all over the world. However, if the need to protect nature appears clear, especially in this period of deep environmental crisis, what is still under discussion is how to interv...

Smart toys are devices with the appearance of traditional children’s toys (e.g. dolls or cuddly toys) but they are capable of interacting with the surrounding environment, connecting to the Internet and using technological systems. They are robots, characterized by a more or less developed level of automation, to the point that the most recent mode...

Poster presented at the 30th IEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium Mines ParisTech – PSL Research University (Paris)

The paper aims to describe the sources of law needed to solve issues in data protection, with particular regard to DPO tasks. In order to elaborate this work, two preliminary steps have been carried out. The first one is focused on the critical analysis of the European and Italian law in the field of data protection. The sources of law include both...

Autonomous vehicles are already on the market. As well as driving us, they will store and process large amounts of personal information. Users will be unaware of this, and the risks it generates. This infor- mation is personal data, and so is regulated by Reg. 679/2016/EU, commonly known as General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). But is this Eur...

Poster presented at the Royal Society of London 30 - 31 October 2017

Al giorno d’oggi, è di estrema attualità il tema della responsabilità civile automobilistica in rela- zione ai sistemi avanzati di assistenza alla guida (ADAS) e, in via evolutiva, ai veicoli completamen- te autonomi. Considerevole appare, di conseguenza, l’impatto delle nuove tecnologie sulla rego- lamentazione dei modelli giuridici: in particolar...
