Ceyhun co-edited and co-authored AI Governance and Liability in Europe: A Primer, a leading work analysing the evolving regulatory landscape of artificial intelligence across the European Union.

The book provides extensive coverage of the EU AI Act and its broader regulatory context, addressing the rapid emergence of governance frameworks at international, European and national levels.

It examines, among others:

• The interaction between AI and competition law, data protection, intellectual property and human rights 
• An article-by-article analysis of the proposed EU AI Liability Directive 
• Core regulatory principles such as fairness, transparency, human-centredness and trustworthiness 
• The use of publicly available data for AI training under the GDPR
