AI-Contracting

AI-contracting is increasingly used in industry, with the promise of reduced costs and synergy gains through a more efficient and faster contracting process. AI-contracting raises new and unresolved questions to which contract law is not adapted. The focus is on the question of whether and to what extent existing civil law regulations are applicable to contracts concluded by or with AI systems. The contributions examine, among other things, the conditions for the conclusion of such contracts, the scope of pre-contractual information duties and consumer withdrawal rights. In this context, not only the doctrinal categorisation is discussed, but also the practical need for regulation is worked out.
