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

Abstract

The invasion of artificial intelligence (AI) in all forms of human activity causes the sudden change of social cohesion into a new hybrid reality, where the static rule of law maybe is overthrown by the instant violations of fundamental human rights, including the general rights of personhood, in its image, honor, and privacy, as well as, of general principles of law, including the principle of the “abuse of rights”, the principle of contractual autonomy, principles of tort liability, and general principles of intellectual property law. In that sense, AI disrupts the acquis due to the poor regulatory quality indicators covering unforeseen occurrences. We call this instantiation AI legal “coup d’état”. This paper constitutes a philosophical thesis statement which is in accordance with the global efforts to legally embed AI into societal systems. As part of an ongoing research on AI and law synergy, this paper focuses on proposing a theoretical framework utilizing category theory to align AI functionalities with traditional legal principles.
