Summary:

This book is a comprehensive guide for legal, business, and technology professionals seeking to understand the intersection of sustainability and emerging technologies in the legal ecosystem. The book takes a critical look at the role of AI and cloud technologies in promoting sustainable legal practices and addresses the potential risks and ethical considerations associated with these technologies. The book explores the concept of sustainability in a legal context, highlighting the need for the legal system to sustain itself in order to sustain society at large. The chapters cover a wide range of topics, from the use of generative AI and open legal data to promote access to justice, to the codification of corporate cultural intelligence to mitigate risks associated with AI. The book also adresses the potential dark side of AI in the legal market, including the risks of autonomy, liability, legal, and ethical issues that arise when using AI in legal decision-making processes. The authors explore the need for sustainable digital transformation as a prerequisite for sustainable law, highlighting the importance of understanding the ethical and legal implications of AI in the legal system. .
