ABSTRACT
The quick use of artificial intelligence in many areas, such as healthcare and government, has totally transformed how legal disputes are handled. An approach to legal education that divides Tort Law, Constitutional Law, and Jurisprudence into isolated disciplines, is not equipped to solve contemporary legal problems. An example of a contemporary legal problem that involves AI is a scenario that raises questions of private liability, state liability, and legal philosophy. This article suggests that integrated legal reasoning is no longer an academic option. Rather, it is a necessity for students, practitioners, judges, and policymakers.
This paper shows that integrated legal reasoning, when combined with the analysis of classical doctrines and emerging technological threats, Indian and comparative jurisprudence, and contemporary regulatory systems, leads to new and better analyses and solutions. The article investigates the problems posed by autonomous systems, algorithmic discrimination, and AI combined with negligent governance and automated decision making. It provides a new way of thinking about legal and governance challenges posed by automated systems. It also considers the challenges autonomous systems create for legal drafting and litigation. This paper investigates the question of when, and if, a harm that results from an algorithmic decision is considered negligent.
Keywords: Artificial Intelligence, Tort Law, Constitutional Law, Jurisprudence, Integrated Legal Reasoning, Algorithmic Accountability, Constitutional Torts, Legal Education.
