Summary
With the increasing proliferation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Big Data, a new future is emerging for our legal system. Envisioned is a personalised law – one tailored to the individual and their particular situation. But would such a “granular” conception of law meet our demands for legal certainty and equality before the law? I analyse how “granular law” changes the structure of our legal system and raise fundamental concerns about the rule of law.
