ABSTRACT
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a transformative technology that permeates our lives in numerous ways, performing tasks that, until recently, could only be performed by a human with specialised knowledge, training, or a government-issued license. AI is now widely used across sectors such as healthcare, finance, education, transportation, manufacturing, and public administration and is an unavoidable entity in today’s world. The potential for further rapid advances in AI technology has prompted expressions of alarm from many quarters, including some calls for government regulation of AI development and restrictions on AI operation.
Advancements in technology often calls for the government to regulate new technologies, this is not a new phenomena, it is done to provide a guideline for adequate use and to foresee the potential misuse. However, the rise of AI has so far occurred unregulated, with the exception of a few international states there have been no courts to concretely answer who is to be held legally liable if AI causes harm. Traditional regulatory approaches may not adequately address the unique characteristics of AI, including autonomy, adaptability, opacity, and rapid evolution. Moreover, regulation is met with difficulty at the primary stage, defining what “artificial intelligence” means.
The main objectives of this study are: Why AI should be regulated and the interplay between AI and Law. The paper discusses the legal implications, regulatory challenges and protection of legal right of humans. Finally, the study will attempt to offer a proposed framework for AI regulation.
Keywords: Artificial Intelligence, Regulation of Artificial Intelligences and Challenges, Artificial Intelligence and Law, Legal Implications, Human Rights, Legal Liability.
