Artificial intelligence governed by laws and regulations

Abstract

While promoting human progress, AI has also triggered the transformation of social structure, which exerts profound influence on the existing legal system and legal concepts. While actively responding to technological progress, legislation also needs to get ready for potential risks brought by technical innovation. Having broken through the traditional boundary between space and time, AI has brought to the world a convenient interactive environment for development, with its transformation to nature penetrating into every respect in human life. Actually, AI has evoked a number of issues, including status definition for intelligent robots, the controversy over the copyright of the works by AI, data information security, and protection of privacy, etc. Considering that law has its stability and can’t be frequently altered while AI industry is still on rapid development, it is advisable to take the policies as major guidance for AI industry regulation and legal norms as a supplement. In addition, legislation should be put on agenda as early as possible before crisis can happen, sphere of which should include protection of intellectual property right, information application and privacy protection, as well as formulation of technical standards.
