The Routledge Handbook on AI, Law and Society

ed. by Matilda Arvidsson & Kieran Tranter

Forthcoming 2026 in the AI, Law and Society Routledge book series

This handbook brings together a series of voices from around the globe and across the many fields of law, exemplifying and inviting new ways of thinking about the various connections between AI, law, and society. With contributions from, law and technology, environmental law, data privacy law, human rights law and intellectual property law, it takes an interdisciplinary approach to AI and provides an overview with examples of the many theoretical and methodological approaches that contemporary legal scholars use to analyze AI, law and society.

Whereas existent scholarship on AI and law focuses on questions of regulation and control of consequences of potential harm that AI may cause to humans, this handbook focuses on fundamental concerns affected by AI in society: justice, governance, culture, the more-than-human, and politics.

The collection brings together specialists on AI, law and society from across the globe and authors include (among many others) Jennifer Raso (McGill Law School) Angela Condello (University of Messina), André Dao (Melbourne Law School), Ana Alba-Betancourt (the National Autonomous University of Mexico), and Keakaokawai Varner Hemi & Amanda Turnbull (University of Waikato).
