The Legal Aspects of the Artificial Intelligence Systems

Abstract

The development of artificial intelligence systems and their daily use have opened up a number of legal issues. These are issues of privacy, data protection, algorithmic transparency, cybersecurity, intellectual property, legal subjectivity of robots, algorithmic discrimination, liability for damages, right to education, emloyees' rights, right to freedom of expression, right of assembly and association, right to a fair trial, suffrage, all the way to the right to health and the right to life. As a consequence of the operation of an artificial intelligence system, there may be a job loss, lack pf social assistance, lack of health care, incorrect determination of creditworthiness, discrimination on various grounds, loss of rights and freedoms, and even loss of life. The high risk posed by individual artificial intelligence systems requires adequate legal regulation and its effective implementation in order to protect the fundamental rights and freedoms guaranteed to all individuals.
