Ict En Rechtsstaat, Mireille Hildebrandt
Ict En Rechtsstaat, Mireille Hildebrandt
Mireille Hildebrandt
Onderling gekoppelde computersystemen, vaak online verbonden, bepalen in toenemende mate de omgeving van staat en recht. Sterker nog, staat en recht worden voor een steeds groter deel bemiddeld, vertaald of zelfs gemaakt door volautomatische beslissystemen die intussen grotendeels aan het zicht zijn onttrokken. De profetische woorden van Weiser uit 1991 lijken steeds accurater. Weiser schreef over ‘calm computing’, en kondigde een nieuwe werkelijkheid aan waarin computersystemen de fysieke omgeving voortdurend afstemmen op en aanpassen aan hun gebruikers terwijl hun complexiteit verborgen blijft en het toetsenbord en zelfs het beeldscherm niet meer nodig zijn. Mogelijke wensen en voorkeuren worden in zo’n …
Radbruch On The Origins Of The Criminal Law: Punitive Interventions Before Sovereignty, Mireille Hildebrandt
Radbruch On The Origins Of The Criminal Law: Punitive Interventions Before Sovereignty, Mireille Hildebrandt
Mireille Hildebrandt
This chapter is dedicated to Radbruch’s seminal text on ‘The origin of criminal law in the class of serfs’. It contains a number of counter intuitive insights on the relationship between public punishment and private revenge, derived from the domains of legal history and anthropological research in non-state societies. Radbruch’s aim was not to provide a historiography of punitive interventions in tribal Germanic society, but to remind his readers of the constitutive importance of sovereignty for the emergence of criminal law. This relates to Radbruch’s concern for legal certainty, and explains his inquiries into the continuity and discontinuities between the …
Criminal Law And Technology In A Data-Driven Society, Mireille Hildebrandt
Criminal Law And Technology In A Data-Driven Society, Mireille Hildebrandt
Mireille Hildebrandt
This chapter takes leave of the idea that lawyers can remain immersed in legal text. It takes a stand for a careful reflection on what data-driven architectures do to some of the assumptions of modern law that are mistakenly taken for granted. Merely enacting the presumption of innocence by means of legal code will not do in the present future. If the defaults of Big Data analytics all point in the direction of precrime punishment or the pre-emption of inferred criminal intent, we need to reconfigure the smart decision systems that progressively mediate the perception and cognition of law enforcement …
Location Data, Purpose Binding And Contextual Integrity: What's The Message, Mireille Hildebrandt
Location Data, Purpose Binding And Contextual Integrity: What's The Message, Mireille Hildebrandt
Mireille Hildebrandt
This chapter investigates the issue of the proliferation of location data in the light of the ethical concept of contextual integrity and the legal concept of purpose binding. This involves an investigation of both concepts as side constraints on the free flow of information, entailing a balancing act between the civil liberties of individual citizens and the free flow of information. To tackle the issue the chapter starts from Floridi’s proposition that ‘communication means exchanging messages. So even the most elementary act of communication involves four elements: a sender, a receiver, a message, and a referent of the message’ and …
Eccentric Positionally As A Precondition For The Criminal Liability For Artificial Life Forms, Mireille Hildebrandt
Eccentric Positionally As A Precondition For The Criminal Liability For Artificial Life Forms, Mireille Hildebrandt
Mireille Hildebrandt
This contribution explores Plessner’s distinction between animal centricity and human eccentricity as “a difference that makes a difference” for the attribution of criminal liability to artificial life forms (ALFs). Building on the work of Steels and Bourgine & Varela on artificial life and Matura & Varela’s notion of autopoiesis I will reason that even if ALFs are autonomous in the sense even of having the capacity to rewrite their own program, this in itself is not enough to understand them as autonomous in the sense of instantiating an eccentric position that allows for reflection on their actions as their own …
