Editorial Assessment
This is an essential reference work for any professional who must address the regulation of artificial intelligence in the workplace. Its dual focus, European and Spanish, along with the detailed analysis of the AIA, make it an indispensable tool for understanding a complex and constantly evolving regulatory framework. The length and depth of the treatise guarantee an exhaustive treatment of the subject, although its weight and volume make it more suitable for consultation in an office or library than for light reading.
