Bart van der Sloot is Associate Professor at the Tilburg Institute for Law, Technology & Society, Tilburg University, the Netherlands.
Van der Sloot deals clearly and engagingly with four crucial phenomena of the digital revolution: humanoid robots, deepfakes, augmented reality, and virtual reality. He explains insightfully their nature and impact on our perception of reality, while offering fruitful analyses of their legal implications. This is a book not to be missed by anyone interested in the development of an increasingly synthetic society. * Luciano Floridi, Professor in the Practice at Yale University, USA * Van der Sloot’s book offers a critical take on the challenges our society faces in the wake of an ever-broader use of AI technology. A captivating read, oftentimes exceeding the purely legal realm, written in a way to necessarily appeal not only to professionals but also, more importantly, to laymen. * Maja Brkan, Judge at the General Court of the European Union, Luxembourg *
