Autonomous systems driven by artificial intelligence (AI)
technologies have significant potential for increased productivity
and improved safety in many sectors, but it is inevitable that some
accidents will occur. The law needs an adequate way to respond to
these scenarios and compensate those wrongfully injured. This
comprehensive book examines the unique difficulties that autonomous
systems create for existing accident compensation systems founded
on tort, and proposes solutions. Its chapters question the adequacy
of accident compensation systems designed around the human
wrongdoer, or a human whose conduct can be attributed to a legal
person, when the 'wrongdoer' is an autonomous system. With a
multi-jurisdictional approach, including both common and civil law
perspectives, this book examines the many challenges that
autonomous systems present in tort law and sets forth that tort
lawyers will need to significantly adjust their thinking to face
these challenges. Focus is given to proposals and developments at
an EU level and finding solutions to the problems brought about by
autonomous systems. This insightful text will be of great value to
both students, researchers and practitioners in tort law, accident
compensation and AI. High tech companies, think tanks,
consultancies and organisations interested in autonomous systems
and accidents will also widely benefit from its expertise.
Drug overdose, driven largely by overdose related to the use of
opioids, is now the leading cause of unintentional injury death in
the United States. The ongoing opioid crisis lies at the
intersection of two public health challenges: reducing the burden
of suffering from pain and containing the rising toll of the harms
that can arise from the use of opioid medications. Chronic pain and
opioid use disorder both represent complex human conditions
affecting millions of Americans and causing untold disability and
loss of function. In the context of the growing opioid problem, the
U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) launched an Opioids Action
Plan in early 2016. As part of this plan, the FDA asked the
National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to
convene a committee to update the state of the science on pain
research, care, and education and to identify actions the FDA and
others can take to respond to the opioid epidemic, with a
particular focus on informing FDA's development of a formal method
for incorporating individual and societal considerations into its
risk-benefit framework for opioid approval and monitoring. Table of
