Artificial Intelligence is disrupting the law as we know it

Years ago, science fiction movies used to seem very futuristic to us - making us feel detached from the remarkable innovations we saw from scene to scene. However, what once seemed impossible is now a reality and we're slowly but surely learning to live with disruptive technologies. This quote perfectly encapsulates this: Figure 1: What does AI mean for legislation? The EU are moving fast. "humankind stands on the threshold of an era when ever more sophisticated robots, bots, androids and other manifestations of artificial intelligence ("AI") seem poised to unleash a new industrial revolution, which is likely to leave no stratum of society untouched" This could well be the introductory "Star Wars style" text of a science fiction film that is shown to the audience to understand the context of the movie.
