Beschreibung
This book is about power and freedoms in our technological world and has two main objectives. The first is to demonstrate that a theoretical exploration of the algorithmic governmentality hypothesis combined with the capability approach is useful for a better understanding of power and freedoms in Ambient Intelligence, a world where information and communication technologies are invisible, interconnected, context aware, personalized, adaptive to humans and act autonomously. The second is to argue that these theories are useful for a better comprehension of privacy and data protection concepts and the evolution of their regulation. Having these objectives in mind, the book outlines a number of theses based on two threads: first, the elimination of the social effects of uncertainty and the risks to freedoms and, second, the vindication of rights. Inspired by and building on the outcomes of different philosophical and legal approaches, this book embodies an effort to better understand thechallenges posed by Ambient Intelligence technologies, opening paths for more effective realization of rights and rooting legal norms in the preservation of the potentiality of human capabilities.

“Virtuality and Capabilities in a World of Ambient Intelligence by Luiz Costa represents a relevant effort to address this phenomenon from the perspective of ubiquitous intelligent devices and their impact on the law, specifically data protection and privacy. … Virtuality and Capabilities in a World of Ambient Intelligence is a title that combines legal–philosophical approaches with up-to-date technological concepts to provide a better understanding of the legal challenges presented by this approach.” (Jesus Manuel Niebla Zatarain, International Journal of Law and Information Technology, Vol. 25 (4), 2017)
