"De opkomst van artificiële intelligentie (AI) waaronder machine learning maakt overheden en enkele grote techbedrijven nóg machtiger dan zij nu al zijn. Daarmee brengt AI, naast voordelen, onze rechten en vrijheden in serieus gevaar. Is onze constitutie daar klaar voor? Dit boek laat zien van niet. Het boek doet vervolgens suggesties voor constitutioneel onderhoud. Onderscheidend is dat dit boek daarbij niet zozeer focust op grondrechtenbescherming an sich, maar op de constitutionele borging van rechtsstatelijke structuren. Denk daarbij aan de trias politica, checks & balances, legaliteit en soevereiniteit. Is die borging AI-ready? En, zo niet, wat valt daar aan te doen? Daarbij is dit een van de eerste constitutionele studies die het ?Big Tech-probleem? integraal meeneemt.00AI, macht en de rechtsstaat biedt aldus een uniek en systematisch overzicht van enkele van de meest urgente uitdagingen waar onze samenleving op dit moment voor staat. Dat maakt dit boek relevant voor iedere student, wetenschapper, politicus, beleidsmaker en burger die wil meedenken over en/of bijdragen aan het behoud van de rechtsstaat en zijn fundamentele waarden".--- Back cover

This open access book offers an analysis of why preparations for digital disruption should become a stated goal of security policy and policies that aim to safeguard the continuity of critical infrastructure. The increasing use of digital technology implies new and significant vulnerabilities for our society. However, it is striking that almost all cyber-security measures taken by governments, international bodies and other major players are aimed at preventing incidents. But there is no such thing as total digital security. Whether inside or outside the digital domain, incidents can and will occur and may lead to disruption. While a raft of provisions, crisis contingency plans and legal regulations are in place to deal with the possibility of incidents in the 'real world', no equivalence exists for the digital domain and digital disruption. Hence, this book uniquely discusses several specific policy measures government and businesses should take in order to be better prepared to deal with a digital disruption and prevent further escalation.

This Italian-Dutch collaboration provides the first comparative thematic coverage of the constitution of the Netherlands in English. The book's unique method of a dialectic confrontation between scholars from different countries yields fascinating discussions about famous peculiarities of the Dutch constitution. The volume covers the Dutch constitution's extreme openness towards international and European law, its combination of parliamentary democracy and a monarchy, its political consensus culture, and its ban of constitutional review by the judiciary. This book aspires to be a helpful account of Dutch constitutional law as well as a useful contribution to global constitutional literature. As the two leading constitutional scholars Tom Ginsburg and James Melton aptly noted, the successful constitutional experience of the Netherlands can be a source of inspiration for other countries who seek to enhance the endurance and efficacy of their own constitutional arrangements.
