ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: AN ASSET OR LIABILITY
-Ms. Yashi Jain & Ms. Mehak Goyal, Banasthali Vidyapith
ABSTRACT:
“The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race. It would
take off on its own, and re-design itself at an ever-increasing rate. Humans, who are limited by
slow biological evolution, couldn’t compete and would be superseded” is well said by Stephen
Hawking. Over the last century, as a civilisation, we have travelled far. Experimenting with
technology and innovating at a rapid pace. Will future generation thank us for this? As history
has shown us, every technological advance is accomplished by legal question. Our modern
technology era will be faced by an unusual number of such questions growing out of what we
will term “artificial intelligence”. The facts about the AI- driven digital era are becoming
familiar but remain astonishing. Owing to the proliferation of AI in high-risk areas, the pressure
is mounting to design and govern AI to be accountable, fair, and transparent. How we can
achieve and through which framework is one of the central questions addressed in this issue.
The research argues that special emphasis should be laid to the prospective of treating AI as an
autonomous legal personality, separate subject of law and control. Some questions are versions
of traditional issue, such as tort liability for semi-autonomous or autonomous auto mobile
collision. Even if you solve these legal issues, you are still left with the question of punishment.
By 2040, there is even a suggestion that sophisticated robots will be continuing a good chunk
of all the crimes in the world. Thence, this research will direct as how there are ethical and
moral dilemmas that should be considered regarding AI and legal industry. In case of the
equalization of human rights and the robot, we encounter the problem of the current legislative
infrastructure, and the lack of effective regulatory mechanisms for this subject.
