Algorithmic Marketing And Eu Law On Unfair Commercial Practices

Download or read book Algorithmic Marketing and EU Law on Unfair Commercial Practices written by Federico Galli and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-08-30 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems are increasingly being deployed by marketing entities in connection with consumers’ interactions. Thanks to machine learning (ML) and cognitive computing technologies, businesses can now analyse vast amounts of data on consumers, generate new knowledge, use it to optimize certain processes, and undertake tasks that were previously impossible. Against this background, this book analyses new algorithmic commercial practices, discusses their challenges for consumers, and measures such developments against the current EU legislative framework on consumer protection. The book adopts an interdisciplinary approach, building on empirical findings from AI applications in marketing and theoretical insights from marketing studies, and combining them with normative analysis of privacy and consumer protection in the EU. The content is divided into three parts. The first part analyses the phenomenon of algorithmic marketing practices and reviews the main AI and AI-related technologies used in marketing, e.g. Big data, ML and NLP. The second part describes new commercial practices, including the massive monitoring and profiling of consumers, the personalization of advertising and offers, the exploitation of psychological and emotional insights, and the use of human-like interfaces to trigger emotional responses. The third part provides a comprehensive analysis of current EU consumer protection laws and policies in the field of commercial practices. It focuses on two main legal concepts, their shortcomings, and potential refinements: vulnerability, understood as the conceptual benchmark for protecting consumers from unfair algorithmic practices; manipulation, the substantive legal measure for drawing the line between fair and unfair practices.

Download or read book Privacy, Data Protection and Data-driven Technologies written by Martin Ebers and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-08-29 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together contributions from leading scholars in law and technology, analysing the privacy issues raised by new data-driven technologies. Highlighting the challenges that technology poses to existing European Union (EU) data protection laws, the book assesses whether current legal frameworks are fit for purpose, while maintaining a balance between supporting innovation and the protection of individual’s privacy. Data privacy issues range from targeted advertising and facial recognition, systems based on artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain, and machine-to-machine (M2M) communication, to technologies that enable the detection of emotions and personal care robots. The book will be of interest to scholars, policymakers and practitioners working in the fields of law and technology, EU law and data protection.

Download or read book Neurosensory and Neuromarketing Impacts on Consumer Behavior written by Malik, Reena and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2024-10-11 with total page 538 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The intersection of neurosensory and neuromarketing continues to reshape our understanding of consumer behavior, exploring the impact of sensory experiences and cognitive processes on purchasing decisions. Neurosensory research examines how sensory stimuli affect brain activity and emotional responses. Neuromarketing applies these findings to develop strategies to engage and persuade consumers to buy products, effectively crafting marketing plans, experiences, tactics. Further exploration of the integration of neuroscience into marketing may help businesses improve their approach to consumer behavior studies, leading to more impactful and targeted marketing efforts. Neurosensory and Neuromarketing Impacts on Consumer Behavior examines the positive impact of neuroscience and sensory studies on marketing and consumer behavior. The role of intelligent technologies in neuromarketing and the effects of these tactics on various demographics are explored. This book covers topics such as neuroscience, social media, and artificial intelligence, and is a useful resource for business owners, psychologists, policymakers, computer engineers, scientists, researchers, and academicians.

Download or read book The EU Digital Services Act (DSA) written by Milos Novovic and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2024-08-14 with total page 782 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The EU Digital Services Act (DSA) provides a comprehensive framework regulating the provision of digital intermediary services in the EU internal market. It clarifies the conditions under which service providers can avoid being held liable for their users’ illegal content, establishes a set of harmonized duties they must follow, and sets broad safeguards for users’ rights. As an extensive article-by-article commentary, this book offers a comprehensive guide to the complex web of the DSA’s tightly intertwined provision. On a systemic level, it also contextualizes the DSA by exploring its relationship to other relevant legal instruments, such as those related to consumer protection, data protection, and private international law. Among the topics and issues addressed are the following: Liability and Content Moderation liability of online services which transmit, cache, or store illegal user content; rules on removing, reducing visibility of, or otherwise moderating content which is illegal or breaches terms of service; and acting against user content based on own investigations, governmental orders, or received notices, and rights and redress possibilities given to users. Service-Specific Obligations rules affecting profiling-based advertising, content recommendation systems, and user interface design; duties of platforms which disseminate user content, obligations of online consumer marketplaces, and exemptions for micro and small enterprises; novel transparency reporting duties, publication of databases and reports, and provision of access to platform data and algorithms; and duties of very large online platforms and search engines. Enforcement Framework competencies, tasks and powers of authorities and the EU Commission to monitor compliance, investigate infringements and impose sanctions; national, cross-border and European coordination, cooperation and enforcement mechanisms; and issues of jurisdiction and applicable law, and duties of providers established outside of the EU. Given the DSA’s scope, this book will be relevant to businesses of any size that handle user content. It will also be of great value to a broad audience of legal practitioners, public officials, civil society stakeholders, researchers, and content creators. All professionals working with user content management issues can use this book to gain valuable compliance insights.
