AIRe 2/2026: Supervision, Liability and Responsible AI Regulation

The new issue of the Journal of AI Law and Regulation (AIRe) is now available online. The edition opens with Mark D. Cole’s editorial on AI and the Media, which assesses AI summaries in search engines and discusses how their proliferation endangers the future of democracies.

The articles in this issue analyse in depth:
