Legal Responsibility of Artificial Intelligence?

Abstract:

Artificial intelligence, in the way it has entered the social life of people, is starting to create legal situations that are not yet legally resolved. There is no doubt that the development of artificial intelligence, even the one that is visible to the ordinary user, has led to it being able to make “autonomous decisions” for many of the activities it undertakes. This is not pre-programmed, but is part of independent decision-making and “feeling” based on “experience”. The law, and thus society, has as its ultimate goal the sanctioning of socially harmful activities. Therefore, we rightly impose the thesis that it is necessary to sanction the “behavior” of artificial intelligence. Formally and legally, sanctions can be imposed only if they are previously provided for in legal or by-laws for milder sanctions. The very fact that artificial intelligence is not represented as a separate identity in any legal act, and cannot be fully integrated into the two existing ones (legal and natural persons) imposes the thesis, but also the need for it to be legally regulated. Many people, as well as businesses, base their decisions on predictions or advice provided by artificial intelligence. Many of these are paid services, i.e. services based on artificial intelligence platforms that are charged. This leads to the legal and logical conclusion that a formal legal relationship has been established between the user and the artificial intelligence platform, from which rights and obligations arise. In this paper, we will delve into the details of the End User License agreement of several of the better-known and most widely used artificial intelligence platforms to discover whether there are hidden provisions in that agreement that “exempt” artificial intelligence from liability, to what extent, and we will provide guidance on how all of this could change in the direction of protecting the interests of indi¬viduals. Artificial intelligence will certainly not disappear from our lives. It is not here temporarily, It can progress with its presence, but not retreat. It is a similar process of industrialization, electrification, and the like that history knows in its infancy, and we as the next generations experience it as normality. The same fate will follow artificial intelligence. We will witness its birth, future generations will experience it as everyday life and necessity. Although it may be a weak method, for now the law is the only one that can fight for some kind of control over it, not to control it in its development, but for the sake of protecting the interests of the individual who must not be left alone.
