ABSTRACT

Artificial intelligence (AI) has drastically changed many facets of contemporary society, including the legal system and its ramifications. The legal ramifications of AI technology growth are examined in this abstract. The capacity of AI to make decisions on its own poses serious concerns about responsibility. It may be difficult for traditional legal theories to determine who is responsible for harm caused by AI systems that operate without human input. Legislators and courts throughout the world are having difficulty coming up with legal guidelines that would hold AI itself, its users, or even its creators liable for damages. As AI offers previously unheard-of capacities for data collecting and processing, privacy problems are a major concern. Strict guidelines on data handling procedures and openness are imposed by laws such as the CCPA in California and the GDPR in Europe, which aim to strike a balance between innovation and individual rights. AI-generated content presents new problems for intellectual property laws, igniting discussions about copyright and ownership. It is getting more and harder to define authorship and ownership in the age of automated content generation and algorithmic creations. The legal environment surrounding AI is further complicated by ethical issues. Robust legal dealings are necessary because of issues like algorithmic bias, prejudice, and the ethical application of AI in sensitive fields like criminal justice. In conclusion, even if AI has the potential to be a game-changer, its legal ramifications demand that privacy, liability, intellectual property, and ethical norms be carefully considered. To ensure AI's incorporation into society is in line with core values of justice, fairness, and accountability, addressing these issues requires interdisciplinary collaboration between legal scholars, legislators, technologists, and ethicists.
