Gentechnische Produkte reichen von der Landwirtschaft und der Medizin über die Ernährung und Umwelttechnik bis hin zur technischen Chemie. Die industrielle Herstellung gentechnischer Produkte und ihre kommerzielle Anwendung gewinnen jährlich an wirtschaftlicher Bedeutung. Umso wichtiger wird damit die Frage nach der Haftung für Schäden an Mensch oder Umwelt, welche durch gentechnische Produkte verursacht werden. Die vorliegende Abhandlung beschäftigt sich mit dem Zusammenspiel und der Verzahnung der relevanten Haftpflichtregelungen im GenTG, im AMG, im ProdHaftG und im BGB.

This special issue assembles five articles ensuing from a conference on "The Man and the Machine: When Systems Take Decisions Autonomously", which took place on June 26 and 27, 2015, at the University of St. Gallen in Switzerland.The aim of the conference was to explore the broader implications of artificial intelligence, machine learning and autonomous robots and vehicles. Alphabet's Deep Mind is just one example about Whom we know, at least a little, and who, we are told, will be good. Autonomous vehicles are also about to enter the market and our phones have begun to verbalize at us. Private drones are being regulated by the US Federal Aviation Administration. The five papers in this special issue address some of the legal issues the broader development raises.The first article is on "The Implications of Modern Business-Entity Law for the Regulation of Autonomous Systems" and is written by Shawn Bayern.

Critical Infrastructure (CI) provision is characterized by privatization of CI providers, transnational risks and a changing role of the state. We describe two paradigmatic systems of state liability with a view to CI liability, namely Germany as a fault system and Switzerland as a strict liability system. Both are unsatisfactory and not well adapted to the modern realities and exigencies of allocation of risks and liability in CI and show flaws from a functional, incentive-based perspective. Therefore, we make suggestions how those systems may be ameliorated, suggesting organizational, design and supervisory liability reforms.

Critical infrastructure (CI) sees to assets that are essential for the functioning of a society and economy, as they provide public services, enhance quality of life, sustain private profits and spur economic growth. Assets of CI differ considerably, ranging from hardware such as cables and wires, through to networks for the generation and supply of energy sources. Critical infrastructures encompass many sectors of the economy, such as banking and finance, transport and distribution, energy, utilities, health, food supply and communications, aswell as key government services.
