ABSTRACT
“The real question is, when will we draft an artificial intelligence bill of rights? What will that consist of? And who will get to decide that?”
Driven by the proliferation of Artificial Intelligence (AI), it has evolved from a futuristic concept into a powerful disruptor of economic, social, ethical, and legal obligations. The integration of legal and ethical considerations is paramount in any framework. Despite the undeniable advantages offered by Artificial Intelligence in enhancing and providing accuracy and innovations across different sectors, it simultaneously raises a significant concern over accountability. Specifically, when the AI makes any enormous decision or there is any prejudice caused by it, the legal and ethical dilemma persists on the fact of who should be held responsible for such actions and how such actions can be conclusively held accountable or attributed to the autonomous technological entity. The subject of the research seeks to evaluate whether it is appropriate and how to assign accountability to artificial intelligence as a topic or a prospective topic of legal discussion. The modern artificial intelligence is not recognized as any personality under the established law, and it is not a legal entity, which tends to make it more formidable to hold it accountable. If artificial intelligence is contemplated as a subject of law and is recognized under the law, then it would be apparent in implementing sanctions. Artificial intelligence successively creates new forms of anti- competitive behavior that are impenetrable to detect, posing a new challenge to the existing competition laws. This study emphasizes the necessity of incorporating “ethics by design” and “accountability by architecture” into AI development by putting forth a multidisciplinary strategy that combines legal jurisprudence, ethical theory, and technology governance.
Keywords: Artificial Intelligence, Accountability, Governance, ethics, legal framework.
