'This Handbook is timely and significant, with no other work considering with such insight the interface between AI and private law. The Handbook asks the challenging questions for private lawyers and seeks to provide answers, both as to how private law will need to adapt to meet the challenges and fulfil the potential of AI but also what role private law will need to play to control and regulate AI. The editors have brought together private lawyers and computer scientists from around the globe to reflect on these important issues. I have no doubt that this Handbook will be both ground-breaking and influential.' Graham Virgo KC (Hon), Professor of English Private Law, University of Cambridge
