Analysing Legal Implications and Agent Information Systems (ALIAS)
The ALIAS project analyses legal and technical implications of software agent
applications. Agent characteristics -- such as: autonomy, pro-activity,
reasoning, learning, co-operation, negotiation, social and physical
manifestation -- are characteristics taken from humans. Notions such as
anonimity and privacy will be redefined in the 'digital world'. In this project
the research areas of Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, and Law are
combined to analyse legal possibilities and limitations of agent technology.
The aim of this project is to provide guidelines for both AI-researchers and
Legal-researchers.
