This book investigates the legal and policy implications arising from the rapid development of artificial intelligence, presenting AI as a transformative force that challenges established legal doctrines and governance frameworks. It considers how intelligent systems interact with principles of liability, rights, and accountability, where traditional legal categories must adapt to accommodate autonomous and semi-autonomous technologies. The narrative reflects on the tensions between innovation and regulation, examining how law responds to issues such as responsibility for automated actions, fairness in decision-making, and the protection of individual rights. It also explores how policy frameworks are shaped to address emerging concerns, including bias, transparency, and the societal impact of algorithmic systems. Attention is given to the global and jurisdictional dimensions of AI governance, where legal responses vary according to institutional, cultural, and regulatory contexts.
The book also highlights the broader need for balanced and forward-looking policy approaches that support innovation while safeguarding public interest. It offers insight into the evolving relationship between technology and law, making it valuable for students, legal scholars, and policymakers seeking a critical understanding of artificial intelligence and its regulatory landscape.
