The AI revolution has been described by some as tantamount to a “new industrial revolution”, which may change dramatically the ways in which societies operate, harbingering new models of economic life, new forms of government and perhaps also new understandings of the very notion of humanity.
The AI revolution has considerable legal and ethical implications, which invite fundamental policy choices. These range from new models of liability for harms created by non-human decision makers, the regulatory framework governing the operation of robots, the creation of new human rights corresponding to AI-dominated social conditions, to the introduction of new legal persons (e.g., AI systems). Multiple second-order law and policy questions are also raised, relating to how regulation should be brought about, how should regulation be divided between private or public law (e.g., insurance, strict civil liability, licensing or criminal liability), and what is the role of international law in this context. Questions related to the capacity of existing laws, institutions, ethical notions and cyber security systems to contain these new developments underlie many of the existing law and policy debates.
