ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN THE AUSPICES OF LAW: A DIVERGE PERSPECTIVE

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI), encompassing computation for perception, reasoning, and action, poses complex legal considerations. This study explores AI’s impact and its legal ramifications, particularly its autonomy in communication and creation, raising concerns about language, intellectual property, and ethical accountability. Influenced by Common Law and Civil Law systems, discussions vary. Evaluating AI creator liability uncovers intricate connections between AI’s autonomy, intentionality, and creators’ roles. The approach used in this article are based on normative method with multidisciplinary discipline. The results are that though AI creators aren’t directly liable, vicarious liability could link actions to AI behaviors based on programming choices. Balancing innovation and accountability calibrated “creator immunities” are vital. Unchecked immunities could impede responsible AI development; measured immunities might encourage ethical practices, considering AI nuances and societal impacts. Positioning AI as a legal subject necessitates tailored approaches within ethical boundaries. The proposition of AI as a derivative legal subject while setting clear limits is pivotal. Adapting legal systems to evolving AI landscapes and reconciling advancement with societal well-being, is crucial. AI’s intricate accountability, its legal standing, and creator liabilities and immunities demand reshaping legal frameworks for an ethical AI environment.
