How to ethically deal with an unethical enemy. Direct influence on Computer Security.
Cyber Warfare Ethics
Cyber technology gives states the ability to accomplish effects that once required kinetic action. These effects can now be achieved with cyber means in a manner that is covert, deniable, cheap, and technologically feasible for many governments. In some cases, cyber means are morally preferable to conventional military operations, but in other cases, cyber’s unique qualities can lead to greater mischief than governments would have chanced using kinetic means. This volume addresses the applicability of traditional military ethics to cyber operations, jus ad vim (an emerging sub-field governing grey zone or soft war operations), the rights of the targets of cyber operations, cyber sabotage, cyber surveillance, phase zero operations, psychological operations, artificial intelligence, and algorithmic ethics. Uniquely, it includes a number of cyber incidents that do not currently exist as case studies and have not received much public attention. This volume has been designed to work as a handbook for military and security professionals involved in cyber training, teaching, and application.

When Art Meets Technology or Vice Versa: Key Challenges at the Crossroads of AI-Generated Artworks and Copyright Law
This paper discusses the intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and copyright law in the art domain, stressing the dominant problems and polemics that arise, such as authorship, originality and creativity, use of copyrightable content as input data to train and teach AI to generate artwork and the liability for AI-induced copyright infringements. In the first section, this paper provides an overview of the current advancement of AI and the necessary human contribution to generate artwork. The second section analyses doctrinal aspects of originality and creativity, aiming to exemplify how AI-generated artwork cannot be subsumed under traditional interpretations of these concepts, which should be reinterpreted to fit AI-generated artworks. This paper further discusses the issue of authorship of AI-generated artworks and aims to point out that this issue should be the extent to whom, of the many humans involved, the authorship should be attributed. The fourth section analyses the use of copyright content to train and teach AI to generate artwork, possible infringements of the right of reproduction and the right of adaptation, and the applicability of exceptions in that respect, and also proposes a collective licensing scheme to tackle this issue. The fifth section analyses the loophole of who is liable for AI-induced copyright infringements, concepts of copyright liability and sanctions, and suggests the assignment of liability to human(s) with decisive influence over the infringing algorithm(s). Finally, this paper discusses whether AI should be granted (limited) legal personhood and, if opting for this and if enforceable, aims to tackle the foregoing issues. The European Union perspective on copyright is in the focus of this paper, referring to the Croatian legal system, where needed or appropriate. The United States’ copyright system is also referenced.

Constitutional Challenges in the Algorithmic Society
New technologies have always challenged the social, economic, legal, and ideological status quo. Constitutional law is no less impacted by such technologically driven transformations, as the state must formulate a legal response to new technologies and their market applications, as well as the state's own use of new technology. In particular, the development of data collection, data mining, and algorithmic analysis by public and private actors present unique challenges to public law at the doctrinal as well as the theoretical level. This collection, aimed at legal scholars and practitioners, describes the constitutional challenges created by the algorithmic society. It offers an important synthesis of the state of play in law and technology studies, addressing the challenges for fundamental rights and democracy, the role of policy and regulation, and the responsibilities of private actors.
