Review: Addressing the challenges of harmonizing law and artificial intelligence technology in modern society

Lamprini Seremeti, Sofia Anastasiadou, Andreas Masouras, Stylianos Papalexandris

Abstract

The article identifies challenges in harmonizing law and AI, including in Privacy and Data Protection, Smart Contracts, Intellectual Property, Liability and Accountability, and AI in Legal Practice. These challenges highlight the need for AI-specific regulations to address each area while preserving fundamental human rights and societal values. ​Seremeti et al. emphasize the need for AI-specific liability frameworks due to the complexities introduced by AI's autonomous decision-making. ​ Traditional tort laws are inadequate to address accountability in cases where harm is caused by AI systems, such as autonomous vehicles or other high-stakes applications.

AI affects the principles of tort liability in Accountability, Causation, Foreseeability, and Standard of Care. These disruptions necessitate the development of AI-specific liability frameworks to address these challenges and ensure accountability in cases of harm caused by AI systems. ​

While Eurocentric in its legal purview, the challenges identified apply to worldwide tort law.
